I'm going just for a quick visit.

Should I rent a phone at LAX in America, or rent one at Incheon airport? I thought with the exchange rate in Korea, it would be better at Incheon, but I'm told LAX has cheaper per minute rates.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

I always rent one at Incheon. It is much less of a hassle (even with the difference in currency) and you always have an easy contact/support
number in Korea if you have problems.
I've had friends rent ones in the US and they always had problems while here in Korea.

The cellphones from the US wont work here. You`ll have to rent from Incheon if you`re in dire need of a phone.
