Call South Korean mobiles and landlines from your browser at one low per-minute rate. WorldDial connects you to any +82 number, SK Telecom, KT or LG U+, without a Korean SIM, a monthly plan, or an app on the other end.
Koreans studying, working, or living abroad still need to reach home: family in Seoul or Busan, a bank branch, the tax office, or the health insurance service. Roaming charges add up quickly on long calls. WorldDial lets you dial any South Korean number straight from your laptop browser and pay per minute, with the rate shown before the call connects.
The largest overseas Korean communities are in the US (over 2 million), China, Japan, and Canada, with growing numbers of students and working-holiday makers in Australia and Europe. WorldDial is a pay-as-you-go line back to Korea from any of them.
