I don't know of any officetel numbers off hand and their number can change quite frequently.
Basically, the number will start off with a 010. This is pretty much the mobile phone number for their handler. A handler is like an agent / driver who takes reservations and coordinates the room assignments.
He will ask for the style of girl you want or the name of your regular. Some handlers have grils who do special roleplay events like "sexy officelady, night club hoochie, pink pajama girl, traditional korean hanbok, and yeah, even wedding gown."
He will then instruct you to where your room assignment is. Most officetel establishments choose locations that are at or near well known places such as Oosung Apartments in Gangnam.
This is when your Korean must be at its best. If you can't understand his directions then, sorry, he'll most likely just hang up on you. Keep one thing in mind though. Officetels are known to be very inflexible to foreigners.
If you can speak Korean then it's SO simple to get a number. Just go to any major business district such as Sinsa Station, Nambu Bus Terminal, Gangnam Station (south not, not the north side) and look on the ground. Seriously, just look on the ground. Handlers pay people to literally litter the sidewalks with full color business cards. It'll usually have a pretty, half-naked girl on it and a HUGE 010 phone number on it. No address, no additional info...just a number. That bro, is an officetel card. Call the number and follow his instructions.
Good luck,
