My last post: "No, 193 plus 4 digit subscriber number has to be dialed" is not right. "193 801 plus 4 digit ..." is right Oh, sorry. My last post:

“No, 193 plus 4 digit subscriber number has to be dialed”
is not right.

I'm the one who owns a SUN NET sim card in PyongYang. What can I say? Thay ask 30 euro for the SIM, and one minute to SUN NET cost's 0.3 euro for outcoming and 0.1 for incoming. First, I'll comment this: >> SUN NET, the GSM 900 network, seems to use +850 193 801 plus a 4 digit subscriber number (when being called from abroad). absolutely right >> When calling from SUN NET to SUN NET, 850 plus 4 digit subscriber number has to be dialled. No, 193 plus 4 digit subscriber number has to be dialed >>When calling from landline-numbers in Pyongyang beginning with 381: to reach a SUN NET subscriber, 193 850 + 4 digit subscriber number has to be dialled. Same thing. You should call 193 + 4 digits >> From landline numbers beginnging with 382, SUN NET subscribers cannot be reached. Yes, but they can still reach 381 >> This information would be interesting to have to Koryolink. Koryolink can be reached from SUN NET, but only the foregn numers (starting with 192 250). korean numbers (192 260) can't be reached. Tried on my own handset :) Greeting from DPRK~~ p.s. I'm a foreign russian student studying in Kim Il Sung University, just to let you know Hi everybody. I’m the one who owns a SUN NET sim card in PyongYang.

SUN NET, the GSM 900 network, seems to use +850 193 801 plus a 4 digit subscriber number (when being called from abroad).

Fin. for Orascom Construction a few year back when we bought the cement plant in NK. That deal, while I was not privy to all the details, was a royal pain in the ass to get done. The finagling over the amount of payment and what was to be exchanged was never ending. Anyhow, point being, I sincerely doubt the Sawiris' brother (Nageeb, who owns Orascom Telecom, the Egyptian Telecom company) would risk pouring that much capital to build even a limited 3 g network in NK. There are too many doubts to even building a regular mobile network and I would be quite surprised if that even exists in any significant capacity. Status of the cement plant we bot? I believe its now owned by LaFarge (French cement company we sold the cement portfolio to) so I don't know how that panned out. But I doubt it went well. I worked in Corp.
