Free SMS North Korea 🇰🇵
Send Free SMS to North Korea Online
Maintaining communication with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) remains a unique challenge. Our gateway provides a specialized channel for sending text messages to North Korea. Whether you are reaching contacts in the capital Pyongyang, the industrial city of Hamhung, or the Special Economic Zone in Rason, our platform aims to navigate the world's most isolated network for your essential connectivity needs.
How to Send Your Message:
- Country Code: The international dialing prefix for the DPRK is +850.
- Mobile Number: Mobile numbers typically follow the format 191 (Koryolink) or 195 (Kangsong). Note that most domestic numbers cannot receive international SMS due to state restrictions.
- Message Content: Keep messages concise (up to 160 characters). Note that all content is subject to strict monitoring by local authorities.
- Service Availability: Delivery to domestic North Korean citizens is often restricted; the service is most reliable for foreign residents and diplomatic staff.
The North Korean mobile market is a closed ecosystem dominated by two state-controlled providers: Koryolink (a joint venture with Orascom) and the fully state-owned Kangsong NET. As of early 2026, the country has made a significant leap by expanding its 4G LTE network, primarily using refurbished equipment from China. While smartphone penetration has surpassed 7 million users, most devices are limited to the national Kwangmyong intranet. International SMS and calling remain a privilege largely reserved for the elite and resident foreigners.
