Can I bring my mobile phone when traveling to North Korea?

In order to promote tourism and earn foreign exchange, North Korea relaxed restrictions and allowed foreign tourists to bring their mobile phones into the country. However, tourists must buy user ID cards in North Korea.

This card is expensive and the phone bill is high. Calling China is 2 dollars per minute (about 12 yuan RMB), and receiving it is 0. 14 dollars per minute (about 0.86 RMB). If you call the United States, the cost is as high as 6.65 dollars per minute (about 40.9 yuan).

Visitors can't send text messages or pictures, and the call destination can't be North Korea or South Korea.
