What is the Poland country code?
Everything you need to dial a Poland number correctly from a UK phone.
+48
The Poland country code is +48. Dialling from the UK? Use 0048 instead of the + — they do exactly the same thing.
How to dial a Poland number from the UK
Dial 0048 + the 9-digit number without any leading zero. Polish mobile numbers start with 5, 6, 7 or 8.
Example: 0048 + 9-digit number, e.g. 0048 22 xxx xxxx for a Warsaw landline.
00 or +? Either works
Typing +48 (hold the 0 key on most phone keypads to get a +) is the international standard and works automatically wherever you're calling from. 0048 is the UK's own way of dialling out internationally — both reach exactly the same number.

What is the Poland country code?
The Poland country code is +48. When dialling from a UK phone, replace the + with 0048 instead.
Do I dial 00 or + to call Poland from the UK?
Either works on most modern phones — typing "+" (hold 0 on most keypads) and the country code is the international standard and works automatically. The 00 prefix is the UK-specific way of dialling out internationally and does exactly the same thing.
Does this work for mobiles as well as landlines?
Dial 0048 + the 9-digit number without any leading zero. Polish mobile numbers start with 5, 6, 7 or 8.
Is there a free way to call Poland that doesn't need a dialling code at all?
Yes — WhatsApp, FaceTime and similar apps call over data instead of the phone network, so there's no country code to dial at all. They're free if the person you're calling also has internet, but aren't a substitute for reaching a landline or someone without a smartphone.
