Hello all!

I know how to unlock an iPhone, and I realize that it means I can use any(?) carrier on it.

I have an iPhone and a Galaxy Tab. I turned off the iPhone service when I got my Tab. Let's say that I am interested in using my iPhone sometimes, and my Galaxy Tab other times. Can I change the sim card from my Galaxy Tab, put it into my iPhone, and use the same service plan that I have with SKT on my Tab? Will I get charged for stuff?

Thanks for helping out a noob! Razz

No idea about the Sim card sorry.

Try it and see?

Out of curiosity, where did you get the Tab? My understanding was that you can't get the Tab from SK with a plan if you're a foreigner.

Did you buy it out right?

LG U are offering the tab but it has no sim card irrc, so you can't use it outside of Korea.

It is in my wife's name, so I was able to get a 2 year contract.

I know it's possible to 'unlock' iphones for use in other countries.

Is it possible with other smartphones bought in Korea as well. Galaxies? Desires? etc.
