Best hours to reach North Korea

Time it deliberately and the answers follow. These four principles make timing deliberate.

Step 1

Consider Time Zones

Get the offset to UTC+9 clear in your head before you reach for the phone.

Step 2

Workday Schedules

Contacts in North Korea answer best 9 to 5; the noon lunch hour usually goes unanswered.

Step 3

Best Call Windows

Call 9 to 11 or 2 to 4 to match the hours when people are most likely to answer.

Step 4

Weekday Preference

The Tuesday-to-Thursday window reaches North Korea most reliably; the week's edges fall short.

Pro Tip — The best shot at North Korea is a Tuesday or Wednesday between 9 and 11 in the morning.

Why the hour you call North Korea counts

Call in the right window and people are far more likely to answer.

What to Avoid
3 AM call
No office is staffed, meaning the call reaches only voicemail.
Public holidays
Holiday time empties the desks and wastes your effort.
Unscheduled call
An out-of-the-blue call lands without purpose in the recipient's mind.
Lunch hour 12–1 PM
Lunch hour is low-attention time across the board.
