3G Service Still Available for Tourists!

Despite rumors on 3G service being suspended for tourists, our DPRK partners confirmed just this evening that 3G service is still available for tourists. Earlier this year, North Korea allowed tourists to bring their cell phones into the country and purchase SIM cards to make local and international calls from their own phones. Then a few weeks afterwards, Koryolink announced that 3G (uncensored might we add) would be available to tourists on their phones or on their laptops using a USB internet modem. To our knowledge, these new tech policies for tourists have not changed. See our recent blog post on The Nuts and Bolts of Tweeting in North Korea.
