I accidentally ran out of minutes on my card phone and I'm wondering if anyone here has found a way to add minutes after the phone shops shut down for the weekend?

I'm guessing I'll have to rough it for the next...36 hours... Embarassed

In an emergency like this....

a) send an e-mail. 99.99999999% of all cell phone calls are pointless anyway

b) buy a phone card at a convenience shop and call on a public phone. It will only cost you prestige points with strangers who you will never see again in your life. Probably.

The guy who has the phone shop next to Burger King in Itaewon can set you up on the weekend.

Maybe. Probably not on Sunday or after a certain time every day.

What's the deal with getting more time on your phone when you want it? Stupidest fucking thing.

Ya, anytime he is open... he actually sells CARDS with numbers that you can imput from your phone to get time, just like prepaid service in most other asian countries. He does not (did not perhaps?) input your payment through the computer or call the service center like most phone shops do.

Well, it's just retarded that you can't buy time 24 hrs/day. If you punch in the numbers, it's going into some sort of database.
