Country code Poland, +48 or 0048?

There are two spellings for the Poland area code, namely +48 and 0048. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Poland and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Poland that starts with a “+” (i.e. +48) is the so-called international code (international spelling). It is primarily used in the mobile communications sector. Most cell phones can make an international call to Poland using the +48 area code. This applies to almost every country in the world.

Unfortunately, there are phones (especially older models) that do not support the international spelling. The area code Poland with leading zeros (0048) is then used on these phones. The leading zeros are also referred to as the so-called traffic elimination number. When you call, they indicate that it is an international call.

Problem: Access code and area code 0048

In fact, the 0048 variant is used for calls to Poland, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 0048 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Poland begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 01148.

The international dialing code (+48) for Poland works in all countries of the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
