I’ve been living in South Korea as an °µÍø½ûÇø and totally understand the struggle of finding the right mobile plan here. I wanted to share my experience with Seoul Mobile Hub because they’ve been a game-changer for me.


When I first arrived, I was pretty lost about which plan to get and didn’t have my alien registration card yet. Seoul Mobile Hub made it easy since they only needed my passport to get me set up. They have both prepaid and postpaid options, and their plans cover all the main providers (KT, LGU+, and SKT), so there’s some flexibility to choose what works best.


One thing I really appreciate is that they have unlimited data plans, which has saved me a ton on mobile data. They also have decent options for international calls, which I use quite a bit to stay connected with family back home. Another plus is their eSIM option—they don’t handle it directly, but they work with a partner, and it’s convenient if you’re into that kind of tech and want to skip physical SIMs.


The English-speaking staff were super helpful, which made everything way less intimidating. If you’re looking for a straightforward way to get a SIM as an °µÍø½ûÇø here, I’d definitely suggest giving them a try.

Hope this helps someone!
