North Korea Calling Code FAQ
- What is the calling code for North Korea?
- +850. From abroad, dial your exit code (or +), then 850, then the national number. If a North Korea number is written domestically with a leading 0, drop that 0 after +850.
- Is it +850 or 850?
- Same code. +850 is the portable form for contacts and mobiles. 850 is what follows an exit code, for example 011 850… from the US.
