What's up with that? Registration fee of $50, plus $50 for the phone, plus a $200 deposit!
Is this normal? |

N, I don't think that is normal. What company is this? |

I was told roughly the same thing in my small town for a SHOW phone. |

It's normal with SK Telecom.
Use LG Telecom instead, they don't demand a deposit. |

Yeah, it was SK Telecom. I already paid the money. Wish I would have known about LG before the fact.
Well, I will get it back, so it's like a little savings account I guess. |

A savings account that doesn't pay interest. |
