Before you choose
- 1.
The 1-day eSIM is data only. Plans of 2 days or longer support calls and SMS after passport authentication; outbound calls and SMS require separate prepaid credit.
- 2.
The tourist number is for ordinary calls and SMS after passport authentication. It does not provide Korean resident identity or payment verification.
- 3.
Choose the full trip duration before checkout because SKT Unlimited data validity cannot be extended after issue.

South Korea and SKT eSIM decision points
SKT eSIM with unlimited data
Both SKT plans include unlimited data. Choose 4G for unlimited hotspot, or 5G for faster typical speeds with 1 GB/day hotspot.
Phone number needs
The eSIM number appears with the QR details. Passport authentication enables calls and SMS; a tourist number cannot replace Korean resident identity verification.
Airport pickup alternative
Pickup SIMs can work for some travellers, but an eSIM keeps setup digital where plan rules allow it.
