I have a pay-as-you-go phone... I do stocks over here and... it's a long story, but usually I can trade online, but I bought a stock I apparently cannot trade online.

I might badly have to call the US tonight. But it will only take a minute or so to sell my stock. I haven't called home yet, and I don't trust those calling cards/pay phones anyway. If anyone is in Haebinchon and has a land line or a cell phone, you can stand there while I make a minute or two call and collect... I dunno... 5,000W for your troubles (plus the price of the call, whatever your rates are).

Go down to any shop and buy an international calling card. They work fine, everyone uses them. Go to a payphone and use it as directed. Usually dial an access number, put in a pin that's on the card, and dial your number.

Yeah, any convenience store should have an international calling card. Are you in Haebongcheon? As in, next to Itaewon? All the shops around there should have calling cards.

That's right, any convenience store should have cards for the U.S.
I PMed you my card no. You could use 15 minutes of my card. I don't mind.

Good luck anyhow....
