“sarang hae yo means I Love You in Korean!”
It's all in the numbers.....
First let's start with the number. The complete Korean cell phone number should look something like this. xxx-xx-xx-xxxx-xxxx

Country Code
Now we've got a number like this..
001-82-xx-xxxx-xxxx
Cell Code
And now we'll add the Korean cell phone code. If you've been given a Korean cell phone number, It will start with "010," '011," "016" or "017", or something similar depending on the carrier. When we're dialing from America we'll need to drop that first 0 and add it to our numbers so far. So "010" becomes "10". Got it?
So we're getting there...
011-82-10-xxxx-xxxx
So we're getting there...
011-82-10-xxxx-xxxx
Local Number
My Tips.....
1. Don't forget, South Korea is 14 hours ahead from the East Coast. 8:00 am in Delaware is 10:00 pm in Seoul. So please keep that in mind when you call Korea to your your friend's cell phone!
2. Phone rates can be pretty expensive. Check into a phone card from Nobel for the best rates.
Just a few more things.....
Prepaid calling cards are great to call Korea, or anywhere around the globe without any agreements, contracts or monthly bills. Calls can be made from any type of phone, private and public, even hotels or offices. Many of these prepaid calling cards also offer PIN-less dialing, an option that allows you to avoid using all those complicated codes when placing a call.
Here are the advantages of buying a NobelCom prepaid calling card: Low rates for international destinations, High quality and increased connectivity, 24/7 Customer Service, International Access from over 150 countries, Over 450 Local Access Number, Enhanced calling card features, PIN-less dialing, automatic recharge, Call your loved ones from anywhere, anytime. Access from home, payphones, offices, hotels, cell phone and much more...
