SIM CARD KOREA
SIM & phone
Prepaid SIM — passport only, same day
For anyone without an ARC yet, or with less than 60 days left on their stay.
How it works
- Apply online → we send you the nearest partner store → visit with your passport → the SIM is activated on the spot.
- You pay the first month’s base fee at activation, then top up monthly.
- Choose SK or KT prepaid. LG prepaid cannot be switched to a monthly plan later.
Keeping your number
- Top up before the month ends. After the paid period there is a short grace period for receiving calls (SK +10 days, KT +15 days); if you do not top up in that time, the number is cancelled.
- Ask the store about automatic top-up so you do not lose the number.
When your ARC arrives
- The prepaid number can be moved from passport to ARC at the store.
- With 6+ months of stay left you can switch to a monthly plan and keep the number (SK/KT).
Prepaid plans (SK · KT network)
| Network | Plan | Per month |
|---|
| SK | 선불데이터안심 | ₩36,000 |
| SK | 선불데이터안심15G+ | ₩39,000 |
| KT | 선불데이터안심15G | ₩39,600 |
| SK | 선불데이터100G | ₩66,000 |
Prepaid: pay the monthly base fee up front, top up each month. We recommend SK or KT prepaid because it can later be switched to a monthly plan; LG prepaid cannot.
What to bring
- Passport (everyone)
- Alien Registration Card (ARC) — for a monthly plan or to move a prepaid number to your name
- A Korean bank account or credit card for monthly billing (monthly plan only)
