What's up with that? Registration fee of $50, plus $50 for the phone, plus a $200 deposit!

Is this normal?

I was told roughly the same thing in my small town for a SHOW phone.

It's normal with SK Telecom.

Use LG Telecom instead, they don't demand a deposit.

Yeah, it was SK Telecom. I already paid the money. Wish I would have known about LG before the fact.

Well, I will get it back, so it's like a little savings account I guess.

A savings account that doesn't pay interest.

Thanks guys,

I just got a sweet LG telephone today, (lol did it without my co-teacher, wow that made it hard)

http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/07/lgs-rhapsody-in-music-lg-lb3300-an-ode-by-mark-levinson/
Got camera 2 mega, MP3 1 gig, English menus, and a sweet design.
All for $180 USD for phone
$30 for startup number
and $12 a month plus a 108 won per minute rate. (10 cents a minute)

Great phone, playing with the features now
