Used phones run from 30k won and up. You will have to pop into individual stores and ask. There are stores on just about every block in town.

If you want SK as your mobile provider you will have to get an SK phone. The phones are network specific even though your number is portable (can be moved from network to network).

There's an interesting second-hand phone store on the street that runs from the North District Office to Malbalu Market. It's called "second-hand cell phone department store" or something like that in Korean.

They have phones for several service providers, but you'll have to go to the service provider office to connect. The people there are really helpful and have lots of dead phones for spare parts (and were able to repair a REALLY old phone I was using.)

I just wanted to mention this place because they have a wide range of second-hand phones. If they have anything available at the company shops, they are overpriced junk.
