From United States the outbound access code is 011, so a manual dial reads 011 then +48 then the local number. StartACall removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between United States and Poland.

Most mobiles in Poland sit on operators such as Orange Polska, T-Mobile Polska, Play (P4). Poland abolished separate trunk codes, phone numbers are 9 digits dialed nationally without an area-code prefix. International format: +48 followed by the 9-digit number.
