Why GlobCall for Calls to Poland
Calling cards are stuck in the 90s with hidden connection fees. Skype ended service in 2025. WhatsApp doesn't reach landlines. Here's what makes GlobCall different for cheap calls to Poland.
Landlines at $0.17/min
Polish landlines cost 17 cents a minute. Banks, ZUS, Urząd Skarbowy, your babcia's home phone — all landlines. A 30-minute call costs $5.10.

WhatsApp can't call ZUS, PKO Bank, mBank, or the urząd in your hometown. GlobCall connects to any Polish landline or mobile.
Credit never expires
Buy $20 and use it over the next year. We don't pull the calling-card trick of expiring your balance in 30 days. Your money stays yours.
