Does any one have info on getting a cell phone in Korea?? Specifically an iPhone with an unlimited data package and possibly international coverage. I would like to be able to make and receive phone calls from the U.S. as well as within Korea. I've spoken with an ATT representative about international coverage and it was very expensive and limited.

Also, if I were able to purchase a cell phone plan and an iPhone in Korea would the apps be Korean or would I be able to access and download American apps? How long does an average contract last (if they use contracts)? What are the average costs and coverage like?

Any info would be helpful! It doesn't have to be iPhone specific. Thanks.[/i]

Try reading this forum. There are probably 25 threads in the past year on this topic. Plus a big one at the top of the page that will hold all the info you seek.

Alright, I've read through quite a few threads and found some concrete answers. I didn't see anything about making calls outside of Korea if you're on a Korean plan. Can anyone tell me the costs and options for an international plan?? Or perhaps, at least point me in the direction of a thread that may have this info? I didn't see it in the large thread.

You might consider using Skype (or other similar internet phone service) for your international calling. 24KW/minute on your iphone, but you need to use wifi.

If you get an international calling card you can use your mobile (i'm British - sorry) to call well, internationally. People can also contact you - using the country code and mobile code.
