How numbers in Poland are built
A number in Poland is the country code +48 followed by a national number of 7 or 9 digits. The trunk prefix, where there is one, is dropped after the code.
Written locally as 512 345 678, an example mobile number in Poland is dialed as +48 512 345 678 from abroad.
There's no leading digit to leave out: dial the full local number after the country code.
Why a call to Poland fails to connect
- Leaving out 00 (or +): without it your carrier reads 48 as the start of a number in the United Kingdom, not as a country code.
- A wrong number of digits: a number in Poland has 7 or 9 digits after +48.
