You were so thorough with the explanations!! Thank you for visiting all the stores and finding out about the different ways to get a SIM card in Korea!
hello my dear friend in KOREA Thankful for your kind informations - please let me ask a question about telefon-communication in KOREA ! Comparing the situation in EUROPE you can buy a SIM card without problems as well as in KOREA, but with that SIM-Card you are able to phone anywhere in all EUROPE without restrictions easily. The system of paying the expenses for conections we call - PREPAID ... and everybody can use it right away. In KOREA you will not even be able to make a telefon-call for a hotel-reservation when travelling inside KOREA. Is that really true - in a modern civilized country ? - I heard you have to be a permanent resident of KOREA to get access to this simple function or you must apply for an "alien-card" with time consuming hassle and expenses. Well, I am not an alien and I live on the Planet Earth and as far as I know the Korean´s do the same ... right ? It sounds like a joke, but it is serious and evidently behind the times. I would be very pleased if you could give an advice how to make a hotel-reservation by phone when you are a foreigner and stay in KOREA for a week or two. Which card is available doing best effect ? I always thougt only in Europe we have bureaucratic administration ... best regards HEINZ
Thank you so much, this was so useful. For my short trip of only 3 days I found that the best option is the one that they sell in the airport. Suscribed.
You can go to places like Myeong-dong to buy sim cards. I highly recommend not buying them at the airport as they overcharge and the number doesn't even let you call, you can only receive calls. The price itself is much more expensive than the price you will for 4 months worth of Data. Woorin and Chingu are good companies as they only require a passport. Woorin also has a pickup option at the airport.
Yes and I've seen many videos recomending the same. But you need to take into account that might not be wise when you arrive at tge airport in new country and place. Orientating and navigating in metropolis like Seoul without data and using maps would be difficult and challenging. If you have been at place and know how to orientated maybe, but I'm going to S.Korea in 3 weeks and would probably buy it from airport, especially considering that I directly go from Incheon to Busan
@yashshah7630 I didn't get mine in Myeong-dong so I can't tell you where specifically. But when my friend I looked we only saw one place and had to ask the tourist helpers (they are dressed in red uniforms and their hats were in different languages) for directions. I highly recommend just looking up where chingu or woorin are relative to where you are staying. I personally got my in the university area in/near Sinchon.
Thank you for these information❤. I’m visiting Korea in December for 5 days. I’m glad I can buy SIM card that’s good for 5 days instead of buying weeks worth that I don’t need.
Hello! Thank you so much for uploading this super useful video, I am a keen technology enthusiast and I am getting the impression that it's almost impossible to get any form of 5G access without an Alien Card or being a Korean citizen... I did notice in your Daiso visit when you look closely at some of the packaging it does mention "5G" access, i'd be interested in learning if there is any way to activate the SIM online, if you call them how do they obtain your ID data?
Thank you, so far, you are most helpful guide in how to navigate in Seoul for a foreigner. I will be visiting Korea next June and will be frequently reviewing your videos.
Thanks for your information. It's very helpful. But in your video, I'm not sure if you are at arrivals in Terminal 1 or Terminal 2? Please clarify. Thank you 🙏
But is isn't it much cheaper to buy a card in the last shop than to buy it in the airport? At the airport 60500 Won and in the last shop 20000 Won and you can make Phone Calls? I visit Seoul in a few weeks for 3 weeks and I'm so nervous about these things. 😬❤️
Which provider has SIM card or eSIM that has unlimited data (or at least 10gb) at 4G/LTE speeds, AND with phone number to receive calls and sms messages? Preferably allow outgoing sms and calls too.
@@Koreantraveler thanks! But I went to check their 14-days sim and it says: speed goes from 4G to 3Mbps after 300MB Which is too little and too slow for me :(
Hello! I just wanna ask..i bought SKT prepaid sim card(worth 36k won)then tried it on my IphoneXR from Philippines.. when someone calling or texting me i am able to answer the call and receive the text BUT when i am the one who will call or text them.. it's not working.. even the data is not working but i have signal and there's a LTE beside my signal. Why is that sir?
Hello~ I think if you paid for incoming and outgoing calls and sms with the internet, it should work on your device. Try to restart your phone, if the problem will not disappear, you can go to the office where you bought the SIM and ask them to change it. Sometimes this problem occurred, so better to ask the office manager to check the SIM right away (you can call the office manager's phone in the office for example, so he will understand the problem) Hope this advice will help!
한국 핸드폰 개통 관련 영상들을 뒤지다가 우연히 이 영상을 보게 되어 질문 드리게 되었어요. 저도 4개월후에 한국에서 3개월 정도 머물 예정인데 정말 어떤 걸 선택해야 될지 헷갈리기도 하고 고민스럽네요. 혹시 한국에서 어떤 선불폰을 사용하셨고 어디에서 개통을 했는지 알려 주시면 감사하겠어요. 기간은 3개월이 약간 안되고, 무제한 데이타, 무제한, 통화, 무제한 음성을 원해요. 그리고 외국인 등록증은 없고 외국국적 여권만 있어요.
