Re: [97attendees] SIM card for Seoul

Thanks for this suggestion, Daniel.   I went to the wrong KT store the
first time, but found yours on the second try.   If anyone else wants
to go there, it's just outside of exit 3 from the Yeuido subway stop.
 You need to bring 30k won in cash.   Have the concierge write out the
following information:

My phone is unlocked internationally.
I need a sim card for it.
I want 30 days of voice
I want 30 days of data
Can you please pick the phone number for me.

You need to bring your passport, of course, and they may have
questions about the name as it's written on the passport if there's
anything weird about it -- the "III" in my name threw them.   But they
were very nice, and it wasn't busy, so I didn't feel too guilty about
taking the time.
