Only with a local address or companyCalls + SMS
Can a Foreigner Get a Phone Number in Poland?
Only with a local footing. Poland (+48) numbers can be ordered through DialAnyone, but the carrier requires a government ID copy, proof of address and an address in Poland — so in practice you need an address in Poland or a registered Poland company. DialAnyone verifies your identity once as well. The number handles both calls and SMS, including most verification codes. Choose a Poland mobile number for SMS; Poland local and toll-free numbers are voice-only.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a foreigner get a phone number in Poland?▼
Only with a local footing. The carrier requires a government ID copy, proof of address and an address in Poland, so you need an address in Poland or a registered Poland company. Citizenship is not required.
What documents do I need?▼
A one-time identity verification with DialAnyone (government photo ID and a selfie, online), and for a Poland mobile number the carrier also asks for: government-issued id copy, proof of address (utility bill or invoice), an address in poland. Activates after the carrier approves your documents, usually within a few business days.
Do I need a local address or proof of residency?▼
An address in Poland is required by the carrier, with a recent utility bill or invoice as proof. Residency status itself is not checked.
Can the number receive SMS and verification codes?▼
Yes. The number receives text messages and most one-time verification codes, readable in your browser or the mobile app. Choose a Poland mobile number for SMS; Poland local and toll-free numbers are voice-only. Some services block all virtual numbers, so delivery is not guaranteed from every sender.
How much does a Poland number cost?▼
A small monthly rental for the number, plus per-minute calling and per-message texting billed from a prepaid credit balance. There is no contract and no monthly minimum. Signing up is free and needs no credit card.
Do I need to visit Poland to get the number?▼
No. The whole process is online and the number is delivered to your account. You never handle a SIM card and you do not need to travel.
Can I keep my existing phone number as well?▼
Yes. A virtual number is additional — it rings in your browser or the DialAnyone app alongside whatever SIM is in your phone. Nothing about your existing line changes.
What happens to the number if I stop paying?▼
It returns to the carrier pool and can be reissued to someone else. Anything still pointing at it, including two-factor codes, goes with it — so move those before you let a number lapse.
