Full dialing sequence
Start by dialing your own country's international access code. From the US or Canada this is 011; from most of Europe it's 00. This tells your network you're making an international call.
Immediately follow with North Korea's country code — no spaces or dashes. This routes your call to North Korea's telephone network. On smartphones, replace the exit code with a + sign.
Add the city or regional code for your destination in North Korea. If the local number starts with a 0 (trunk prefix), drop it — the country code replaces it when dialing internationally.
Enter all remaining digits of the local number exactly as written. For mobile numbers, include every digit — no abbreviations. Press call and your carrier does the rest.
Before placing a call, make sure your internet is up to the task; a robust connection prevents lag and dropouts.
A headset with noise cancellation keeps your North Korea calls clear, wherever you happen to be.
Factor the UTC+9 offset into your plans so your call lands when people are awake and available.
The cost of calling North Korea shifts with your method, and VoIP routes keep your bill at its lowest.
