Traveling to Seoul, phone questions

Upvote:3

The standard in South Korea is 220V at 60 Hz. So you don't have to worry about a converter. Depending on where you are from you need an adapter.

The answer to your second question depends on your needs and on the places you are going to.

  • If you plan to stay in Seoul or in other metropolitan areas and you want to use internet based phone and message services, you can think about renting a so-called WiBro Egg.

  • As an alternative you can rent a smartphone for the length of your stay. That's also a common choice among foreigners. When renting a SIM Card alone, you will have to be sure that it works for your phone. They will check that on-site.

Have a look at what KT and SK offer, compare and make a choice.

On the other hand, it is not too hard to find public wireless networks in Seoul and in other cities. Some of them are free, and other ones can be used with prepaid cards or with Skype WiFi.
