Here's an article about how you can setup a number in your home country that lets your friends and family call you up in Korea for free.

Enjoy!

No thanks.

People home always forget I'm in a different time zone. I had Skype-In once to my Korean cell phone. I'd get phone calls at like 4-5 in the morning and the people always say, "Aw man, I forgot its morning over there. My bad."

That's a good point. Maybe it's a good idea to give people clear guidelines on the best time to call.

I wish you could setup an automated message between 11pm-8am Korea time that said, "The Person you are calling is asleep. If you would like to try your call again, google "time zones" and read up on the proper times to call."
