How to Call Poland from the UK: A Guide for SMBs and Startups
The country code for Poland is +48. You’ll need to include this code when dialing any Polish number from outside the country, including from the UK. It tells the phone system to route your call to Poland.
For example: If you’re calling a mobile number in Poland, it will start with +48, followed by the rest of the number, minus the leading zero.
Whether you’re calling a Polish landline or mobile number, here’s the dialing format to follow:
Example: Calling a landline in Warsaw: 00-48-22-1234567
Example: +48-697-123456
On most smartphones, pressing and holding the “0” key brings up the “+” symbol. This acts as a substitute for the international exit code. You can dial +48 instead of 00-48 for quicker calling.
Here are a few popular area codes in Poland that UK businesses commonly call:
Area Code | Location |
---|---|
12 | Kraków |
22 | Warsaw |
32 | Katowice |
42 | Łódź |
58 | Gdańsk |
61 | Poznań |
71 | Wrocław |
81 | Lublin |
85 | Białystok |
91 | Szczecin |
89 | Olsztyn |
17 | Rzeszów |
52 | Bydgoszcz |
95 | Gorzów Wielkopolski |
33 | Bielsko-Biała |
Use these codes after the country code (+48) to ensure your call is routed to the correct region in Poland.
Startups and small businesses call Poland for all sorts of reasons:

Yes, when calling from the UK to Poland, you must include the +48 country code, even for mobile numbers.
Start with the + sign, followed by the country code (48 for Poland), and then the full number (skipping any leading 0).
A country code replaces the domestic dialing prefix (like 0) used within the country. For example, Polish numbers starting with 0 must drop the 0 when dialed internationally.
