016, 018 Rings Also in Japan

Users of 016 and 018 mobile phones can use their phones and numbers in Japan as well. KTF announced that they have contracted with the Japanese Mobile Phone Company, KDDI, and the Korea-Japan roaming service has begun. But not like SK Telecom, the service is only available on the phones made exclusively for the roaming service from Samsung, `SPH-X6000`.

The service charge for calls within Japan is 850 won per minute, calls from Japan to Korea is 2190 won per minute and 920 won per minute until the receiver picks up the phone. 02-2016-0888
