To make an outgoing call from Russia, the Republic of Belarus or Ukraine to the Republic of Poland via cellular communication, use the following algorithm on your mobile phone: +48 (Poland's international index) - cellular provider code - Polish contact number.
For example, in order to call the mobile number of the Polish operator t-mobile, you need to dial: +48 (538) xxxxxx, where +48 is the telephone code of Poland, 538 is the code of the t-mobile operator, xxxxxx is a six-digit mobile contact.
