SIM cards & keeping a number

Since Poland’s 2016 anti-terror law, prepaid SIMs must be registered; non-EU foreigners use a passport or residence card. For keeping a number, Heyah’s official “year of account validity” add-on extends outgoing validity to 365 days for 30 zł, followed by a passive (receive-only) period of up to 186 days.
