For so many years, North Korea has been stayed in a constant war condition. And the people's life gradually fall behind other countries. Once the mobile phones come into North Korea, what about people's life?

In November 2002, it is the first time that mobile phones came into North Korea. North Korea formed a joint venture with a Thai company and began mobile phone services at the Rajin-Sonbon special economic zone. This service is GSM mobile phones services. But only the senior cadres of party People's Committee, Provincial People's Security, the Security Department of State have right to use.

In November 2003, the Korean mobile phone users just reached 2 million. But the service was stopped after pieces of a mobile phone were found among debris recovered from an explosion at Yongchon Station in 2004.

At that time North Korea's average monthly wage is about 2500 Chaoyuan, and the U.S. dollar can exchange 1200-1300 Chaoyuan, this is a great pen cost the equivalent of more than 600 months' wages. At that time the province of the People's Security Ministry officials confiscated nearly ten thousand companies ...
... and individual users of mobile phones. The official reason given is that, given the proliferation of mobile phone users would be difficult trying to monitor and control people's conversations. So far, only North Korea's senior and military sources, as well as foreigners in Korea have the right to use the phone.

In 2008, North Korea set up Koryolink, a joint venture with Egyptian mobile provider Orascom. Orascom owns 75 percent of the joint venture and the North's Ministry of Post and Telecommunications the rest. Until March 2009, up to 5 years of mobile phone use ban was finally broken. According to the Korean mobile phone designed specifically for the system say: all of the Korean mobile phone made in China, enter the name automatically bold leader.

North Korean traders doing business with China smuggled in Chinese-made cell phones across the border. Chinese phones are also used by North Korean sources who tell the overseas press about the latest developments in the North. North Korea's mobile phone are all from China. A claim where the company phone system designed for the Korean people, said according to the the requirements of North Korea customers, input method in the mobile phone about "Kim Jong Il," the name of the font on the screen must be bolder and bolder. And the calendar module in addition to two colleagues were asked to delete all the other festivals the festival, the two sections is the 'Daikin, Oscar' birthday."

Today, the number of usage of mobile phones by young North Koreans rising quickly. And people in Pyongyang often make a joke that only dogs without mobile phones. So we can see the usage has brought a heavy change for North Korea.
