International dialing allows you to keep up with friends and family around the world.
Placing an international call can help you to keep in touch with loved ones and business associates around the world. You can place an international call from your land line or mobile phone without the assistance of an operator. Calls to contacts in North and South Korea from the United States can be placed within minutes. Depending on your phone service provider and your phone plan, you may incur charges for calling internationally.
