Bonjour.

I have an iPhone 3G from the UK. We've been through a lot together and I just want to use her as a phone again. Is there anyway I can get some sort of SIM card for it, sign up to a contract with a few minutes and texts and around 500mb data and use it here in Korea? If so, how?

Thanks!

You must get it unlocked before it can be set up here. After it's unlocked you should have no problems using it here in Korea.

Yeah, it's unlocked and ready to go. Just need some advice on how I go about registering it in Korea and on any good deals and prices

I wouldn't really say there are any good deals and prices since you're using your own phone.

With the usage numbers you gave, you would be looking at the I-Light plan, which is 45,000won per month and gives you 200 minutes / 300 texts/ 500mb of data.

To activate it, take it into a KT global store and fill out the appropriate paperwork. It's not hard and shouldn't take very long to get it done.

Where are you located?

Thanks for the advice!

There's a KT global centre not far from me in Hoegi (in Seoul) so I'll give it a go.

Thanks again!
