South Korea Calling Code FAQ
- What is the calling code for South Korea?
- +82. From abroad, dial your exit code (or +), then 82, then the national number. If a South Korea number is written domestically with a leading 0, drop that 0 after +82.
- Is it +82 or 82?
- Same code. +82 is the portable form for contacts and mobiles. 82 is what follows an exit code, for example 011 82… from the US.
