Hi,

I'm looking to be in Bucheon from August and it will be my first time in Korea. I'm sure that this gets asked many times but I cannot find an up to date answer.

How do I go about setting up utilities such as gas, electricity and water in my name? What about internet or TV (something like Sky which is a digital TV provider in the UK or cable)? TV wise, just a few English and sport channels that show English football.

I have found enough info about mobile phones. I've got an iPhone 4 (uk model) which I need to unlock and then I should be able to get a plan with someone like KT. Is this easy enough to do once in Korea?

From what I read, in order to set things up you need to show your ARC, passport, bank details, contract, etc along with start up costs.

All I need is internet access so I've got wifi in my apartment, TV with some English channels and a mobile phone.

Any ideas on what I need to do? Apologies for the number of questions but if anyone can point me in the right direction, then that would be great.

Thanks,

Brez
