3G Mobile Phone Network Koryolink of the DPRK

okay.. an average north korean person serriously cant afford it. it is 1 years of their salary to buy one of those which is 3500 won per month. that means an average north korean survives on 28usd per month which is 1 dollar or less a day!!!!!!!

Sweet I'll get one of those phones imported to me

I think the cost of setup is reduced significantly as they don't have to pay for forced labour. Also, the fat dictator can now use phones to keep his generals loyal(by giving them phones as incentive).

whats the name of the song?

IT'S FOUR DIFFERETN SONGS.

i've been to NK this summer and almost everyone now carries a cell phone. It doesnt do international calls, only local.

I have just been to NK. Our main guide and the bus driver had cell phones. The network was only for internal use, not for calls abroad. Tourists get their phones sealed and are are not allowed to break the seal until they are outside NK.

in Sweden we have 4G

yeah well fuck sweden

I doubt most North Koreans will be seeing phones anytime soon. It's not necessarily a matter of money, although North Korea are certainly pretty short on that.

The main reason is that the masses aren't considered politically reliable enough to be trusted with one. Phones have always been prohibited without government permission.

Those who get one are party officials and political elites who've ingratiated themselves with the regime.
