Numbers that start with 080, 15XX or 16XX

080 numbers are free inside South Korea and usually can't be reached from abroad. Eight-digit numbers that start with 15 or 16 are national business numbers that often only work inside the country. Look for a regular number on the company's website for callers overseas.

When to call

South Korea has one time zone, Korea Standard Time (UTC+9). The cards below show your time and the time in Seoul.

South Korea does not change its clocks, so the time difference only shifts when your own country changes.

Call quality

A browser call needs a steady connection more than a fast one, using roughly half a megabyte to one megabyte of data per minute (an estimate).

• Use Wi-Fi or a good mobile signal.
• Use headphones to avoid echo.
• Switch off a VPN if the audio is choppy or one-way.
• Check the microphone permission if the other person can't hear you.
