How to call North Korea from India

  1. Dial 00, the exit code of India. On a mobile phone you can press and hold 0 to type + instead.
  2. Dial 850, the country code of North Korea.
  3. Dial the rest of the number. If the number is written with 0 in front for calls inside North Korea, leave that 0 out.

So a mobile number shaped like +850 1XX XXX XXXX is dialled from an Indian landline as 00 850 1XX XXX XXXX, and from any mobile phone as +850 1XX XXX XXXX. The X marks stand for the digits of the real number.

How to call North Korea from other countries

The steps are the same everywhere: your own country's exit code, then 850, then the number. The exit code is 011 from the United States and Canada, 00 from most of Europe, Africa and Asia, and 0011 from Australia. A mobile phone accepts + in place of any exit code, which is why numbers are best saved as +850 followed by the number.

How to call India from North Korea

The exit code in North Korea depends on the phone company you use, so the simple way is a mobile phone: dial +91 and then the number. An Indian mobile number has 10 digits. For an Indian landline, dial the STD code without its leading 0 after +91. Find an Indian STD code.

Saving a number from North Korea for WhatsApp

WhatsApp needs the full international number: + then 850 then the number, without the trunk prefix 0. Save the contact that way and it will work on WhatsApp from any country. To open a chat without saving the contact, use the WhatsApp link maker.

Checked in November 2026 against the libphonenumber numbering data. Phone numbering can change; if a call does not connect, ask your phone company. Call charges are set by your phone company, not by the code.
