North Korea phone number (+850) — real mobile, SMS & calls
Yes — you can get a real North Korea mobile number (+850) online in under a minute. It is a genuine mobile line, not VoIP: unlimited incoming SMS, 500 outgoing texts and 1,000 calling minutes a month from $3.54. Sign up with just an email, pay in crypto and keep it as long as you renew.
North Korea’s domestic mobile network, run by operators such as Koryolink, is closed to most international connections, and ordinary citizens have no access to the global internet. Interest in the +850 code is therefore mostly academic, coming from researchers, analysts and people building complete country-code references.

Keep your North Korea number as long as you want
A North Korea number is only useful if it is still yours next year. your messengers — and most banks, marketplaces and exchanges — send codes to the number again when you switch phones, reset a password or log in from somewhere new.
Renew monthly ($3.54) or yearly ($17.70) and the same +850 number stays on your account for as long as you want. Nobody else is assigned it while you hold it, and auto-renew from your wallet means it never lapses by accident.
Travelling, moving or living abroad
With PhoneBorn you skip the SIM counter entirely: the North Korea number lives in your browser, so it works before you land, while you are there and after you leave — no roaming charges on incoming SMS.
FAQ
North Korea phone number FAQ
How do North Korea mobile numbers look?
North Korea numbers start with the country code +850. When an app asks for your number, choose North Korea in the country picker and type the rest of the number shown in your dashboard.
Can I use a North Korea number for WhatsApp?
Yes. It is a real mobile number, so WhatsApp can verify it by SMS or by voice call — both arrive in your PhoneBorn inbox. If you only need one WhatsApp code, a single-use OTP number for North Korea costs $0.83. For an account you plan to keep, a monthly plan is the safer choice because WhatsApp re-verifies when you change phones.
Can I make and receive calls on a North Korea number?
Yes. Every plan includes 1,000 outgoing calling minutes a month and unlimited incoming calls, plus unlimited incoming SMS and 500 outgoing SMS. Voice-call verification codes are therefore covered too.
Which apps work with a North Korea number?
WhatsApp, Instagram, Google, Telegram and more than 110 other apps. Each platform decides which numbers it accepts; real mobile numbers pass the line-type checks that block VoIP numbers.
What if it doesn't work — can I get a refund?
If your number has not sent or received a single SMS or call, you can get a full refund within 7 days of purchase — no questions asked. Open the number in your dashboard and press “Request refund”. Eligible refunds are returned to your wallet instantly. Single-use OTP numbers are refunded automatically if no code arrives.
Do I need ID or a North Korea address?
No. You only need an email address — no passport, no local address and no residency.
How much does a North Korea phone number cost?
$3.54 per month or $17.70 per year for a number you keep, or from $0.41 for a single-use OTP number that receives one code. Prices are in USD and you pay from a crypto-funded wallet.
Can I use the number outside North Korea?
Yes. The number works from anywhere with an internet connection — you read SMS in the web dashboard, so there is no roaming and no SIM. Handy whether you are in Pyongyang or on the other side of the world.
