 |
|
I met a guy awhile back who claimed he had a data plan for his Touch but after doing some Googling I've realized that isn't possible. He must have meant a subscription to a WiFi network, no? Anyway, I'm considering doing something similar and was wondering how I would go about getting a WiFi subscription for my Touch. Do I need to take it into a shop and have my MAC address registered or is it as simple as using a credit card? Which company has the best penetration?
And, if it is as simple as using a credit card what do you want to bet that my gimped foreigner only debit card will not suffice for an online purchase... because it sure didn't work for Paypal Korea. |

Maybe this is what you're looking for?

Probably need to go to the KT in Itaewon for English customer service. |

Like mentioned earlier, the KT wi-bro Egg is a possibility, plus you can take it with you.
I have Qook TV and pay another (I think) 8,000W a month for access to the nationwide wi-fi network. It can be useful in Seoul but annoying if you live in a rural area (my town only has 3-4 Olleh hot spots). |
