How to Buy a SIM Card in Korea?

 

Wondering what you need for your trip to Korea? A prepaid SIM card is a must-have. Roaming fees can be steep, so it's better to go for a SIM card instead.

Before you make a purchase, here are a few things to check:

Ensure your phone is unlocked.

Check if your device supports GSM network frequencies.

Make sure you know the correct SIM card size for your phone.

In Korea, there are three major telecom companies: KT Olleh, SK Telecom, and LG U+. All of them offer SIM cards, and nowadays, you can even buy them at convenience stores.

 

Now, how can you get one? There are two options: online or offline.

 

Buying online is often the most convenient option.

Here's how:

 

Choose the right product based on your travel duration and needs.

Visit the website of the telecom company or a local SIM card retailer.

Select either delivery or pick-up at the airport.

Prefer the offline route? No problem.

Here's what you can do:

 

Find the suitable product for your travel plans.

Visit the airport convenience store or a telecom desk to make your purchase.
