Get an eSIM for South Korea

The live plan cards show the current price for each allowance and validity period. Compare the total data and number of days as well as price, because the cheapest plan may not cover the full trip.

Available allowances include 1GB, 2GB, 3GB, 5GB, 10GB, and 20GB. Options currently cover 3- to 30-day validity. Match validity to the complete trip, then choose data based on navigation, messaging, work and streaming needs. A short Seoul visit may need less data than a trip combining Seoul, Busan and other stops. Account for maps, translation, transport information and video use when selecting an allowance.

Current South Korea plans list 5G through SKTelecom, LG Uplus, and SK. Network generation and availability depend on the selected plan, device compatibility and local coverage.

The validity period begins when the eSIM first connects to a supported mobile network in its coverage area. You can install it before departure and connect when you arrive.

Hotspot availability depends on the phone, selected plan and network policy. Top-up availability is checked for the specific eSIM after purchase; when compatible top-ups exist, Yatelo displays them in the eSIM account controls.

A local SIM can be appropriate when you need a Korean phone number or in-person assistance. A travel eSIM is simpler when data is the priority and you want to keep your existing SIM available for calls or messages.
