Which carrier should I choose?
Need a Korean phone number (for restaurant bookings, delivery apps, SMS verification)? Choose KT or SK telecom. Only using LINE/KakaoTalk? LG U+, Airalo or Holafly (data-only) are enough.

Is setup difficult?
Most eSIMs are installed by scanning a QR code. Set it up over Wi-Fi before you travel. Airalo and Holafly offer easy app-based management and English support.
What does "Voice & SMS" mean?
KT and SK telecom issue a Korean 010 number, so you can receive calls and SMS — useful for app verification and bookings. LG U+, Airalo and Holafly are data-only.
Is "unlimited" truly unlimited?
Some plans throttle after a daily cap. For example, KT caps speed to 5Mbps after 3GB/day (resets at midnight KST). SK telecom advertises no speed limit. Check each carrier's fair-use policy.
