Poland, the center of Europe, is a popular travel destination. While you're enjoying the Carpathian Mountains and the Baltic Coast, you want to make sure that you are able to use your cell phone in the case of an emergency. Using a cell phone in Poland is easy if you follow the correct procedures.
Instructions
1. Obtain the correct plug adapters from an electronics store before you leave home so that you can charge your cell phone while in Poland. Poland uses plug types "C" and "E."
2. Pack a transformer that can handle 230 volts, which is the voltage used in Poland, to use when charging your cell phone. Your cell phone will likely fry if you do not use the correct transformer.
3. Call your cellular provider to make sure that they offer phone coverage in Poland. Ask to be upgraded to international roaming.
4. Consider renting a cell phone or SIM card to use with your personal cell phone if your cellular company does not offer coverage in Poland.
5. Know dial locally within Poland. If you are dialing a place in Poland with the same city code as which you are calling, just dial the number. If the number has a different city code, dial "0," plus the city code, plus the phone number.
6. Know call the United States from Poland. First dial "0**0" (this is the international prefix to dial outside of Poland). Then dial "1" (this is the international code used to dial to the U.S.). Follow that by the city code and phone number.
