Telephone installation services
To install a telephone line in a home or an office, call 100 without the area code. Once you call the number, the telephone company in the area of your residence will install a phone line for you. For phone installation, a foreigner needs the passport and a copy of his/her foreign registration card. Monthly basic charge is 5,200 won. In addition to the monthly fee, you should pay 60,000 won for signup (including installation). The steps for installing a fax machine are the same as for a telephone installation. To use the fax machine, you need to connect it with your phone.
