Telephones

When travelling, if you have no cell phone with you, it may sometimes be necessary to make use of a public phone. You can make a call from a public phone using special cards with 15, 30 or 60 units, sold at all post offices, kiosks and many food stores. They can be bought for as little as 9 zloty. There are also SMS cards available, which cost 5 zloty and allow you to send 20 text messages. Less common are coin-operated phones.

In large towns, it is also possible to make cheap international calls from some Internet cafés. At post offices and some kiosks you can also buy special phone cards which reduce the cost of international calls (from public or landline phones).

The international code for Poland is (00)48
