I've been teaching ESL outside of Korea where I've seen quite a bit of variation in cell phone availability from country to country - - - -

Is it safe to assume that reasonably cheap and functional cell phones can be picked up at local stores? Probably recharged at grocery stores or kiosk type places? I'm looking to avoid a cell phone contract when I first get there.

Also curious if you bring say an unlocked iphone in if you can get it hooked up to cell service there fairly easily?

Thanks

Yes, cell phones are available with on-the-go plans. Ipones are trickier, since there's generally some serious contracts they want you to go along with and I'm not sure about compatability, even though Koreainvented iPone.

Sounds like there are some low cost/low commitment ways to start communicating there - all I'm looking for really.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
