HOW TO GET SIM CARD IN SOUTH KOREA

Hi~

I want to tell you about how to get a sim card for your phone if you are going to South Korea for one ore two weeks.

It’s based on my experience when I went to South Korea last month. Before I went there, I googled to know about this too. Well, let’s begin !!

When I arrived in Incheon International Airport, I went to counter (T-card counter, sim card counter etc) I asked about how can I get the sim card and they said I have to go to CU (mini market) to get a sim card.

So I went there straight to cashier and asked to the sim card. They will asked you what phone do you use, for the type of sim card. Type of the sim card will affected to the price of sim card, nano card is 5000KRW more expensive than micro or normal card. Because my phone is an iPhone 6s I should buy the nano card ㅠㅠ. It cost 35.000KRW for 1GB and it’s active for just 15 days, that’s so expensive right ???

Oh ya.. this sim card only can be use for foreigner, not for Korean.

Before you use the sim card, you have to register the sim card by yourself. There’s the instruction with English in the paper. You need your passport to register the sim card.

To register the card, go to sim.ktmmobile.com there’s a form for you to fill it with your data and attach your passport photo. Use airport free WiFi to open the website.

After you registered the sim card, you have to wait about 60 minute. When the sim card already active you can use it !! YES OF COURSE !!
