Using the telephone in Poland can be a challenge, unless you are in a classy hotel. Working public telephones are few, especially in Warsaw. You must buy a prepaid telephone card to use the public phones, and this must be done in ADVANCE of your wanting to make a call. The machines do not take coins.
