On November 10, SK Telecom announced that it will hold the "2025 Gold Number Promotion," in which a total of 10,000 gold numbers will be awarded through a lottery.

Gold numbers include: ▲ Repeating digits such as '1111', '0002', or '3000'; ▲ Numbers where the prefix and the last four digits are the same (ABCD-ABCD, ABAB-ABAB); ▲ Numbers with special meanings such as '1004' or '1472'. There are a total of nine eligible types for this promotion, and each individual can apply for up to three numbers.

Since 2023, SK Telecom has been offering 10,000 gold numbers annually through a lottery. Among these, the most popular type is the "ABCD-ABCD" format, where the prefix and the last four digits are symmetrical.

This lottery is open to both existing and new subscribers, and applications can be submitted at SK Telecom's official authorized stores nationwide as well as through the T Direct Shop. The application period runs until November 23, and the winners will be announced on November 27.

The lottery will be conducted randomly in the presence of the Preferred Number Selection Committee, which includes representatives from the Ministry of Science and ICT, the Korea Telecommunications Operators Association (KTOA), and other relevant government agencies and organizations. Winners will be notified individually via text message, and the winning numbers must be registered between December 1 and December 19.

Meanwhile, users of budget mobile carriers (MVNOs) that use the SK Telecom network can also apply for a separate gold number lottery through each carrier's website. However, gold numbers cannot be transferred to another person, and customers who are already using a gold number or have acquired one within the past year are not eligible to apply.

Further details about the promotion can be found on the T Direct Shop website.
