Looking to buy a prepaid cellphone, "card phone". I'm fine with the condition as long as it works and can hold a decent charge.

[Englishee]

unfortunately i dont have enough posts to reply to you via pm. can you post an email i can reply to?

i have 2 phones, a cheap one in great condition that holds a charge for about a week, and a more expensive pda phone with a keyboard.

both come with 2 batteries and a charger.

Just ask one of your coworkers for one of their old phones. Then take it to SK or KT and tell them you want to do prepaid card service.

I took my old SK phone there last month and got it put on prepaid card service. 10,000 a month. You buy the cards at the service center then call a number and enter the pin off those cards.

Pretty easy huh?

well i want to get a prepaid phone without submitting my ARC or passport, which i read (here @ daves) was needed


Englishee how much is the cheapest phone? I am not looking to spend alot of money...

[Englishee]

35,000 for 2 batteries, charger and the phone. charger is brand new.

i can sell you the phone without an ARC or Passport, but u WILL need them to activate the phone...

i could be mistaken, but regardless, the phone is available...

it even has a dictionary/translator


If you want a phone that you dont need an ARC or passport, i can give it to you already activated, but it will be about 90,000 won. its a pda phone on a prepaid account.

[bebe81]

oh it isn't activated...?

[bebe81]

i would need my arc or passport to activate it...

[Englishee]

no, when u activate them you have to give your alien card and/or passport.

the more expensive phone is activated and ready to use. its a long story, but the bottom line is that you dont need an ARC...just walk into a store, give them money for a credit (10,000) (or buy a card) and your good to go...

How much for the more expensive phone?? Can you tell me the make/model and general condition as I'm interested in buying if it's still available.

Thanks

I have a T-free phone but I want to use it until I leave.
The monthly fee is only 5000 won per month.
You can recharge online or buy cards.
I got mine in Itaewon. I think the used phone was 40,000 and
the activation was 35000.

If you don't know they shut your phone off after the end of your visa
unless you fax proof of renewal. This is for all card phones I believe.
