Setup

Set the eSIM up before you fly to Poland

Set up your eSIM before you travel. Install it once from the link in your email, switch it on when you arrive, and you’re online.

On iPhone (iOS)

  1. After purchase, open the confirmation email and tap the install link — the eSIM adds itself (iOS 17.4+). Older iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → scan the QR from the same email.
  2. Label the plan (e.g. “vigxo travel”) and set your home line to keep calls/SMS.
  3. Turn on Data Roaming for the vigxo line — this uses the local partner network, not your home carrier.

On Android

  1. Tap the Android install link in your email (recent Android) — or Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Add eSIM and scan the QR.
  2. Download the profile and set vigxo as your Mobile data line.
  3. When you land, turn on data roaming for the vigxo line so that line can use the local network.

Good to know

  • Works on eSIM-capable phones (iPhone XR/XS+, Pixel 3+, Samsung Galaxy S20+). Older or carrier-locked phones may not support eSIM.
  • Install before you fly on Wi‑Fi — you only need to enable it when you land, no signal required to set up.
  • Data-only plans: keep your home SIM active for calls and texts. Use WhatsApp/FaceTime over data.
  • Prices are final at checkout. Full refund before you install the eSIM.

How eSIMs work in Poland

A travel eSIM for Poland is a digital SIM your phone downloads — no plastic card, no airport pickup counter. You buy online, tap the install link we email you (a QR code is included too), and it installs a second line alongside your existing SIM. Install it on Wi-Fi before you fly. When you land in Poland, turn on data roaming for that line so it can use Play, Orange on 5G where available and LTE everywhere else. Your home number keeps working for calls and texts; the eSIM carries the data.

How much data do you need in Poland?

Maps, messaging and rideshare apps are light — roughly 300–500 MB a day. Add photos, social and the occasional video and you’re closer to 1 GB a day. For a one-week trip a 5 GB plan is comfortable; for two weeks, sharing, or heavy use, choose 10 GB or more, or a reloadable plan you can top up on the go. Poland plans start at $4.99 across 7 sizes, with the per-GB price shown on every one so the right choice is obvious.

What do you pay for data in Poland?

A travel eSIM for Poland is a local data plan. You pay the price shown at checkout. Set the eSIM as your data line and turn data roaming off on your home SIM, so your home carrier does not add this trip's data to your bill. Full refund before you install.

Setting up your Poland eSIM

  1. 1. Buy a plan — your install link and QR code arrive by email right after payment.
  2. 2. While you’re still on Wi-Fi before you fly, tap the install link in your confirmation email — or open Settings → Cellular/Mobile Data → Add eSIM and scan the QR.
  3. 3. Land in Poland, turn on data roaming for the eSIM line, and you’re online.

Poland eSIM — questions, answered

When does my Poland eSIM start counting?
Your validity window starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Poland, not when you buy it — so you can install it before you fly and it only begins on arrival.
Will my phone work in Poland?
You need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone (iPhone XR/XS+, Pixel 3+, Samsung Galaxy S20+). Check the compatibility page before you buy — and if it turns out your phone can’t use it, you get a full refund since nothing was installed.
Can I keep my number and WhatsApp in Poland?
Yes. Your vigxo plan is data-only, so your primary SIM stays active for calls, texts and your usual number. WhatsApp, iMessage and all your apps keep working over the eSIM data.
What if I run out of data in Poland?
If your plan is reloadable, you can top up the same eSIM from your dashboard — no reinstall needed. Otherwise, buy a new plan; it comes as a new eSIM with its own QR code.
How do refunds work?
Full refund before installation, within 30 days of purchase. Once an eSIM is installed the data is released to you, so it can’t be refunded after that.
