Staying Connected

At the airport

KT, SKT, and LG U+ all have booths at Incheon Airport arrivals. Fast but slightly pricier. Good for same-day setup.

Online (cheapest)

Buy an MVNO plan on sites like Ureka or Hello Mobile before you arrive. Plans from ₩10,000–30,000/month with data + calls.

Convenience stores

GS25 and CU sell prepaid SIM cards (선불 유심). Good for short stays, limited to data only.

Carrier stores

KT, SKT, LG U+ stores in any major shopping area. Bring your passport. Plans from ₩35,000/month.

💡 For a long-term stay, MVNO plans (알뜰폰) are the best value. Look up "LG HelloMobile" or "KT M Mobile".
