Does anyone know how to contact a U.S. Military base from off post?

I am just looking for information about sunday morning chapel services at the local base near my home. The number they've listed only works if you are on a base.

Anyone have any info on this? I'd really appreciate it.

If you have the DSN (Defense Switching Network) phone number, you jut need to dail 0505 first and then the number. 0505 is the nation-wide military area code in South Korea.

Dial 0505 plus the DSN #.

You can dial

0505-736-XXXX

or you can dial the direct local exchange.
For example, Yongsan

02-7916-XXXX

If you have any problems, you can contact the local operator for more info

02-7913-1110
or
0505-733-1110

Also, you can use the local exchange to dial not only army basesm but also air force bases like Osan as well.

The 736 DSN prefix is Seoul, isn't it? The simulpost answers above are good for the whole country.

Thank you all so much
Can I use this from a mobile?

Yep. That's what I'm usually using when I call to a base (sorry about the bad pun).
