Every country in the world has its own telephone code. This code must be dialed before the subscriber number. We will tell you what the telephone code of Poland is, how to call this country from outside its borders (from landline and mobile phones), as well as codes of some Polish cities, 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 dial tone, after which you need to dial the city code to which the call is being made and the number of the called subscriber.

Calling from a landline

Now let's look at how to call this country from abroad. If you do this from a landline phone, first dial the international connection combination (8-10). After the beep, you need to dial the country code (for Poland - 48). After this the beep will sound 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 mobile operator code, then the subscriber number.

Call from a cell phone

To call from a cell phone, you do not need to dial the combination 8-10. Press "+", then dial +48 (Poland mobile code), the area code you are calling or the mobile operator and subscriber number. Dialing scheme: +48- (city/operator code – subscriber number).

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 (if calling to a landline) and $0.66 (when calling to a mobile phone). For calls from Belarusian landlines, 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.

Where:
+48 - international code of Poland
ХХХХХХХХХ – internal Polish number (9 digits)

If you call on a mobile phone, you will always know all 9 digits, but in the case of landline numbers, you may only know 7, before which you will have to add the two-digit city code to which the call is being directed. If you have such a situation, you can get acquainted with the codes of the main cities by clicking on the spoiler below:

Those. A Polish landline number consists of an area code as well as a unique 7-digit number.

Actually, so as not to torment you with theory, let’s move directly to practice:

How to call Poland from a mobile phone

So, all you need to do is enter the international code of Poland (+48) and add the number (9 characters) to which the call is directed.
For example, if we have a mobile number:

You need to enter the following numbers into your 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 the University of Warsaw: 5520000, we understand that it is located in Warsaw (code 22), and enter the following numbers into the phone:

after this 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 very different, it is still different from calls from a mobile phone. If you are calling from a landline, first you need to go to an international line, and then dial the Polish number directly. For different countries, access to the international line is implemented differently:

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 calls to Poland via the Internet

We've sorted out traditional calls to Poland, now let's move on directly 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 a lot of 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 you need to do is download the free version from the app store (available for all popular OS), register (enter your phone number, then wait for the SMS code) and... call :)

In order to call another number (be it in Poland, the USA or even Nicaragua, the main thing is access to the Internet), you need to adhere to the following algorithm:

If you do not have this number in your contact list

1. Go to the “Calls” tab, click 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 phone’s contacts (if you don’t disable it 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 Internet speed of both the caller and the recipient of the call, but nowadays it is almost a sin to complain about poor Internet in cities, and if we talk about Poland, then it is generally completely (in my subjective opinion) covered by high-speed . Not once in all my travels have I lost connection or switched the Internet from 3G to 2G.

In conclusion, I would like to add that these are not all possible options for calling Poland, but certainly the most convenient and popular. That's all I have. Don't lose your loved ones. Good luck! 🙂
