In this article, we will briefly review all the available options for calling Poland.
In general, there are 3 main ways:
1. Calls from a mobile number;
2. Calls from a landline phone;
3. Free calls over the Internet.
Whichever option you choose, you should always stick to the main component of the number:
where:
+48 is the international code of Poland
XXXXXXXXXXXX - internal Polish number (9 digits)
If you are calling a mobile you will always know all 9 digits, but in the case of landline numbers, you can only know 7, before which you will have to add the two-digit code of the city to which the call is directed. If you have such a situation, you can familiarize yourself with the codes of the main cities by clicking on the spoiler below:

Those. A Polish landline number consists of an area code and a unique 7-digit number.
Actually, in order not to torment you with theory, let's go directly to practice:
How to call Poland from a mobile
So, all you need to do is enter the international code of Poland (+48) and add the number (9 characters) where the call is directed.
For example, if we have a mobile number:
You need to enter the following numbers into the phone:
then press the call button.
If you have only 7 digits, this means that the number is landline, so you need to think about which city it belongs to, find the code from the list above and add it after the international one and before the unique one. For example, we know the number of Warsaw University: 5520000, we understand that it is located in Warsaw (code - 22), and enter the following numbers into the phone:
after that there is a call directly to the office 🙂
How to call Poland from a landline
It is not for nothing that this method is placed under a separate heading, although it is not much, it still differs from calls from a mobile phone. If you are calling from a landline, first you need to go to an international line, and then directly dial a Polish number. For different countries, access to the international line is implemented in different ways:
As you can see, this method has no difficulties, the main thing is to be careful and wait for the beep indicating access to the international channel.
Free Internet calls to Poland
We have dealt with traditional calls to Poland, now let's move on to Internet calls. There are countless ways here, every year there are more and more new applications for Internet telephony, and their quality is getting better.
The market is quite saturated, you can choose from anything: Viber, Skype, WhatsApp, Bip and many others. In this article, we will focus on the most popular (at least for Poland and the CIS countries) Viber, but the algorithm of actions for other applications is not much different. Therefore, if you are determined to deal with another application, do not rush to close the article 🙂
Using Viber is incredibly easy! All that is required is to download the free version from the app store (available for all popular operating systems), register (enter your phone number, then wait for the SMS code) and ... call 🙂
In order to call another number (be it in Poland, in the USA or even in Nicaragua, the main thing is Internet access), you need to follow the following algorithm:
If you do not have this number in your contact list
1. Go to the "Calls" tab, click on the blue circle at the bottom right and enter the Polish number in international format
2. Press the green button, then "Free call"
The number is in the contact list
Well, then everything is simple. The program itself reads the contacts of the phone (if not prohibited in the settings), and in the "Contacts" tab, select the one you need, and then click on "free call".
It is worth noting that the connection is directly proportional to the speed of the Internet for both the caller and the receiver, but in our time it is almost a sin to complain about poor Internet in cities, and if we talk about Poland, then it is generally completely (according to my subjective) covered by high-speed . Not a single time in all my travels did I lose connection or switch the Internet from 3G to 2G.
In conclusion, I would like to add that these are not all possible options to call Poland, but certainly the most convenient and popular. That's all for me. Don't lose your loved ones. Good luck! 🙂
Every country in the world has its own dialing code. This code must be dialed before the subscriber's number. We will tell you what the phone code of Poland is, how to call this country from outside its borders (from a landline and mobile phone), as well as the codes of some Polish cities, the codes of Polish mobile operators and the cost of calls.
How to call Poland
To call from one Polish city to another, you first need to dial 8. You will hear a beep, after which you need to dial the code of the city where the call is made and the number of the called subscriber.
Call from a landline
Now consider how to call this country from abroad. If this is done from a landline phone, first dial the international connection combination (8-10). After the beep, you must dial the country code (for Poland - 48). After that, there will be a beep again. Then you should dial the area code, then the number of the called subscriber. If you want to call Poland on a cell phone, you do not need to dial the area code. Instead, dial the code of the mobile operator, then the subscriber's number.
Call from cell phone
To call from a cell phone, you do not need to dial the combination 8-10. Press "+", then dial +48 (mobile code for Poland), the code of the city you are calling to, or the mobile operator and the subscriber's number. Dialing scheme: +48- (city / operator code - subscriber number).
Codes of some Polish cities

- Plus.
T-Mobile is still represented in Poland under the name Heyah. All codes of these operators can be found on Wikipedia.
Important! Since 2003, Polish subscribers have had the opportunity to switch from one operator to another. The number is saved. Therefore, it is impossible to determine belonging to an operator by number. To do this, you can use online services, for example, www.jakasiec.pl .
Call cost
The cost of calls to Poland from a landline depends on which country you are calling from. For example, a minute of conversation when calling from Russia costs from 9.9 rubles per minute (for Rostelecom subscribers). Calls from Ukraine cost $0.5 per minute (for landlines) and $0.66 (for mobile calls). For calls from Belarusian landline phones, the time of day matters. So, if you call from 6:00 to 23:00, the cost of a minute of conversation will cost 0.235 Belarusian rubles, from 23:00 to 6:00 - 0.1645 rubles.
The cost of calls from cell phones depends on the operator. All information on this subject can be found on the websites of these operators.
