Just a notice for SK members:

I went and signed up for an HTC Desire yesterday and the guy said next month the data plan will go to unlimited downloading if you are on the 55,000W a month data plan.

I don't know if he was pulling my gf's leg but I seriously doubt it. He said they are trying to compete with KTF's 3g connectivity or something to that degree. Don't know how that will effect it but it will be amazing if true.

So again, he said after the second week of next month (August), you will have unlimited downloading if you are already on the 55,000W plan.

I just bought a Galaxy S on Friday and I'm on the 45,000/month plan. If this is true, it's a no-brainer to upgrade. By what time do you have to sign up for the 55,000 won plan in order to get the upgrade? Also, is there any way that somebody can confirm this? I am like a baby in this country (in that I can't do anything for myself).

What happens to the 65,000 plan?

I have a hard time believing this, but if it's true, might as well jump aboard!
I can just leave the wifi on my Galaxy off and not worry about the added battery drain and that stupid warning that prompts me every time I'm switching from wifi to the data network (yes I realize it can be disabled).

GF read some sites citing the same things.

Starting in August, anyone with or purchasing a 55,000 and up data package will get unlimited data starting in August.

Galaxy S "white" should also be released soon.

Just went to the SK shop.

All 55k + packages will come with unlimited data packages. SK guy assumes the reason for this is because SK lost a lot of business to KT due to the iphone, so they are looking to get some of their customers back.

Including phone; its roughly 66k + tax+connection fee (7k)

300 mins/200 text (not sure)/unlimited data

Ill probably get one as soon as the unlimited data packages are available.

I'm pretty sure just over 3G since isn't Wi-Fi free?

Also how much is text after your 200? (I'm on the 65 plan), I didn't realize I'd go over 200 so fast...

only 4 days =_=

I'd wait 'till it's actually in effect. Also, it's no hassle. Just go to any official T-World (the kind with a service counter) and tell them you want to change your plan. It's really no problem at all.

You have to pay for nespot, get the client, and connect using the client. Nespot is not usually free.(unless it's a nespot-branded free AP)
