Poland's country code is +48. From the UK, dial +48 then the full 9-digit Polish number. There is no leading 0 to drop. A Warsaw landline printed as 22 XXX XX XX is +48 22 XXX XX XX. Polish mobile NDCs include 50, 51, 53, 57, 60, 66, 69, 72, 73, 78, 79, and 88; a mobile printed 50X XXX XXX is +48 50X XXX XXX. Do not insert a trunk 0: +48 022 is a misdial.
How to dial
Use one of these origin formats:
- ›+48 plus the full national number (usual on a mobile)
- ›00 48 plus the same digits from a UK landline that still needs the international access prefix
Ofcom's National Telephone Numbering Plan designates 00 as access to international telephone numbers from the UK. + is a substitute on many mobiles. Do not assume every device accepts the same input.
More numbers: call Poland. Area codes: Poland calling codes.
The ITU E.164 list assigns 48 to Poland. Poland's ITU national numbering plan (communication of 16.XII.2022) sets a maximum national significant number of nine digits. NDC 22 is the Warszawa geographic zone. Several leading digits, including 50 and 51, are listed as mobile telephony. A prefix is a format hint, not proof of the current network. Current assignments are on UKE's numbering database.
Cost
A call from the UK to Poland is an international call from home. That is not the same as roaming while you are in Poland.
EE's call-abroad page sells International Pass and International Extra add-ons for calls from the UK. Inclusive minutes, if any, are plan-specific. Check whether Poland is named on the destination list.
Listed WorldDial rates checked on 13 September 2026: $0.05/min to landlines and $0.10/min to mobiles, in USD. Calls are billed in whole minutes, rounded up. Check the current rate for your number on rates before adding credit.
If Poland is already in your UK calling allowance, use your handset. If it is not, you can place the call in the browser. How calling works: how it works.
When 80-series is the wrong number
Polish NDC 80 is listed in the ITU plan as non-geographic access to intelligent-network services. Do not assume a domestic toll-free number will work from the UK. Use the number the organisation publishes for international callers.
PKO BP contacts for overseas callers are on PKO BP from abroad.
Time difference
Poland is one hour ahead of the UK throughout the year. Both countries change their clocks on the same schedule. Check the organisation's local opening hours before calling.
Format mistakes to avoid
- ›Inventing a drop-zero or inserting a trunk 0 (+48 22, not +48 022)
- ›Assuming an 800 number will work from the UK
- ›Assuming every Polish mobile starts with 5 (several other NDCs are also mobile)
