I know you can rent phones at incheon, but my parents will be bringing a work phone with them,s o will get free calls.

They do, however need to buy a Korean 3G sim card, can they get one at the airport? If not where could they get one?

Thanks for any help!!!!

It's not that simple.

The phone would need to be registered with a Korean carrier before you could use a Korean sim card.

How do they get free calls while using a Korean sim card? How is it related to their phone?

Is it eligible for automatic international roaming?

Is it the corporation paying for this 'work' phone?

Well, then there's gotta be a chance of free calls, the chance being slim or not.
