Depends if your service has international calls banned or not from your account. You can have that easily changed with a customer service call, BUT I would not call overseas with a cellphone. Your bill is going to be ridiculous!
Some alternatives:
-If you both have computers with internet connections, use yahoo voice chat or Skype or similar services. I know South Korea must have a lot of computer shops/internet cafes so if he doesn't have a computer/internet yet, he could go there during the day.
-Buy international phone cards. They range from $5-$50 with various other denominations in-between. I think $15 might get you about 30mins worth, it varies. But, convenient stores typically sell them. They usually list on the card how many minutes you can get out of calls to certain countries. At least this is more controlled than accidentally running up a bill worth thousands of dollars.
Those are your two best bets. I'd suggest the former over the latter, but both work, speaking from past experience. Good luck!
