How to Call South Korea from USA
Reaching Korea takes seconds once you know the dialing rules, and every minute stays cheap. Below are the country code, when to drop the zero, and how mobiles are formatted.
US Exit Code
Begin with 011, or simply press the plus sign on mobile and VoIP. That opens the international dialing sequence.
Korea Code (+82)
Next, enter +82, the country code that routes you into the Republic of Korea.
Area Code and Number
Leave off the domestic leading zero, then add the city code or mobile prefix followed by the subscriber number. Note: Seoul is a one-digit area code (2).
Dialing Examples
To reach Korea from abroad, enter +82, then the city code minus its leading zero. Mobile lines instead use the 10 prefix.

Mobile Rules and Prefixes
Mobile lines in Korea follow one steady prefix and a set length, so they are easy to dial. Here is the breakdown.
Mobile Prefix 10
Every Korean mobile opens with 10. From outside the country, dial +82 10 and then the eight remaining digits.
Drop the Zero
Area codes carry a leading zero for calls within Korea. Strip it for international dialing, so 02 turns into +82 2.
