I've got an iPod nano with regular earphones but I want the lanyard kind that will hang around my neck since my dress pants don't have pockets. Where should I look?


Also, my KTF cell phone shows all incoming calls as having no caller ID, even though I have the caller ID set to show. Can I take my phone to any phone place or do I have to go to a main store to figure it out (as in, the one I went to to get my service working)? And as long as I'm on the topic, how do I find how much money is left on my pre-paid account? Do I have to go to the main store for that too?

Oh, and I work in Gangnam. Thanks!

Who is your prepaid account with?

Go to a KTF phone shop, obviously find one where someone can speak English (unless you speak Korean, of course). They should be able to set up the caller ID service and give you a number you can call to get a voice recorded balance update. I don't have a KTF phone, mine's SK Telecom, but KTF is a big company. I'd be surprised if they didn't provide these services - and the balance enquiry one should have an English option, too. I know bith SK and LG Telecom do, so why not KTF?

Thanks WoBW, I wasn't sure if I could take it to any random phone shop or not.

My phone is KTF and my service is with SHOW. When I set my phone up I got a woman who didn't speak english, but when she needed to tell me something she would call a number and let me talk to the person on the phone who did speak english. I'll try it again later this week.

i had the same problem with my phone, i just went into the phone shop and tried to explain it, they didn't understand, so i commandeered one of their landline phones and just called mine and shrugged my shoulders...they understood and fised it withing 2 minutes....they had to use the internet to do it.

you can buy those ear phones in most electronic stores, i got some in the electronic part of homeplus
