11 years ago | Posted in: Technology | 508 Views

North Korea has decided to allow foreigners in its country to use not only their mobile phones and iPads but access Twitter and Skype in a surprising move.

The services are provided by Koryolink and the 3-G services will begin from March 1, the North Korean authorities said.

This is another step toward the deregulation of mobile communications and access for foreigners in North Korea.

The North Korean authorities initially allowed those with USIM cards and WCDMA access to access their privileges. Previously, foreigners had to leave their devices at the immigration office.

However, the access to the Internet will be restricted to foreigners and domestic personnel will continue to be prohibited from using any of such services.
