I am an American on an E1 visa who got around all the cell phone subscription BS by having my Korean national sister-in-law, get the contract for me. It’s with KT and now I have the opportunity to buy a used iPhone from an American friend in Hawaii.

I checked with a local KT shop and was told that an American iPhone won’t work in Korea without a changeover that would run about 300,000 won. This sounds preposterous.

My question is, will an American iPhone brought into Korea work under a KT contract, or has the hermit kingdom proven to be again an alternative universe in its domestic telecom infrastructure?

An authoratative response would be most welcomed. I leave to pick the phone up next week.

I forgot my phone in a dongduchon taxi, it seems the Taxi man is wicked, He answered my call after several attempt, but hang up after a while…I kept calling my phone for 3days and no one answered it again.
Well, i ended up registering another USIM card with same number..

I went to different phone shops, There is one particular shop i went,the lady said ande! ande! wegu saram ande!…lol

Just on 21 march 2010 (2days ago) i went to Yongsan Ipark Mall in korea to buy a phone, I asked about the iphone and they said it’s not for foreigners….hummmm

I live near Osan and SHOW opened a store on the base where you can get an iPhone. I don’t know the details (price etc), but if anyone is in the area and has access to the base it’s available.

Hello,

I’m french and I’m leaving in Korea since February 2010 with a F2 Visa.

I’m very desappointed since I’ve got some information from KT reps, when I wanted to order a contract in order to use it here in Korea.

I got this iPhone through Orange in France and pay my bills during 15 month before I come in to Korea for Family affair (so that’s was an unpredictable situation).

Before I’ve come here, I’ve unlock the Simlock by demand through Orange Service. So I’m pure & legal iPhone user.

KT reps say me that it’s not possible to do a contract since I autorized/register my iPhone here in this country for 300 000 W. I know that iPhone was launch here since few month by KT with Exclusivity but it was not a good reason.

Why it’s so expensive and difficult for foreigners ?

I’ve lived in 5 countries including Japan and never had such problems. I won’t get an iPhone as I dont’ work here for a Korean company and personally, think the rates etc suck. But Korea isn’t run like a country, but like a bloody business, and one which hates people who lives in its borders – even if they are Korean.

But, here’s another example: Korea charges duties (on shipped items) not on the item price only, but on shipping costs. So an item which I recently bought which is less than 150$ (the limit) got hit because its shipping was 30$. So instead of getting the item last week, I had to phone customs, tell them the situation, understand that obviously, if I don’t want to pay customs (on shipping?), I have to buy in Korea which is 3x the markup.

The item still hasn’t arrived though it was supposed to be here on Saturday (6 March). Koreans too get screwed here, but foreigners are not people. The problem is that foreigners have pretty much no representation outside of: military and ‘english teaching’. horrid.
