Timing, cities and local context
Korean mobile numbers start with 010 domestically — dial 10 after +82 from abroad, dropping the leading zero. The three main carriers (SK Telecom, KT, LG Uplus) all operate under this same 010 block since a 2004 unification, so you can no longer tell the carrier from the prefix. Older mobile numbers may still begin with 011, 016, 017, 018, or 019 — legacy carrier codes that predate the consolidation — and these remain in use. Seoul landlines use area code 2 (dial +82 2 ...), while Busan uses 51, Incheon 32, and Daegu 53. Fixed lines are still the professional norm for business offices, and Korean companies reliably staff them during hours. One thing foreign callers often miss: 080 numbers are freephone within Korea but do not accept international calls. If a Korean company's contact page only lists 080, dig for the direct-dial alternative.
Calling a Korean landline from abroad is generally cheaper than calling a mobile, and most businesses list both. Korea Standard Time is UTC+9 with no daylight saving, a fixed offset that simplifies scheduling. Business hours run 9 AM to 6 PM on weekdays, with many Korean companies running intensive schedules and picking up calls promptly throughout that window. The critical dates to avoid are Chuseok and Seollal — the Lunar New Year and harvest holidays — both of which move annually on the solar calendar and trigger multi-day office closures with significant domestic travel. Cross-referencing the Korean lunar calendar before scheduling important calls around those periods is worth the thirty seconds it takes. Personal calls land better in the evening, after 7 PM, when people are home and the work day is fully closed.
