Is this gonna' follow me and bite me in the a-... uh, butt?

I got an iPhone and I'm leaving way before my two years is up. Yeah, yeah, I'm a bad person, boo hoo.

You suck.

Since the I-pone handpone networkz is global, you will be billed at your home address with creditors suing you 1 year later for about $5000 us dollars attaching a judgment of taking 25% of your gross pay should you fail to pay it or draining money in any bank account you have up to that amount. And then only a telemarketing office or drug dealer will employ you due to this credit record garbage. Ah well, if you are already 50,000 dollars in student loan debt and 0 dollars taxable income, your debt to income ratio is too out of wack to even have good enough credit to start with so employers will automatically ding you as a high theft risk. You might ask if you can pay a small penalty to get out of the contract. A tiny SK shop where I got my 3g phone told me I can pay 5,000 won to cancel at their specific store location should I not want it for the whole 1 year contract. I bet they mean 50,000 and I sure hope they don't mean an unreasonable 500,000 should I want to bounce before my finish time.

Didn't a Korean have to get you the iphone because it's on a 2 year contract?? So it would be on your Korean sponsor. Or if you're on an F2 or whatever I'm sure they would find you.... but probably not.

Ah the mixed F-4 guy, I think that's him. Good job.

The OP was likely only able to get his contract because of his sweet sweet 민족, I don't think that the contract stipulations are written with 민족없는사람 in mind at all.

Let s/he who has never sinned cast the first stone.

If you were fired for not being white is still not KTF or whathaveyou's fault. If they denied you phone service for that then you have a case - as many E visa people did have until two years ago. However, having an F 4 I wouldn't want something to perhaps affect my credit record.

In the US, if you move before then end of the contract, there are ways out (like paying for the phone)

Why not just sell the phone (won't work outside Korea prolly), and pay it off. If your think you might ever be back, better take care of that $@&# or it will bite you in the %#$@

Pm me if u decide to sell it

F-4 = gyopo.

But you're white? Somebody is drunker than I am right now.
