South Korea eSIM for travellers
Data in South Korea, from the moment you land
Seoul, Busan or Jeju: get mobile data from the moment you land at Incheon or Gimhae, without queueing for a SIM at the airport.
Choose your plan
Unlimited: 2 GB a day at full speed, then up to 512 kbps for the rest of the day.
Prices will be shown at launch. Leave your email at checkout and we'll tell you the day we open.
Good to know
Install before you fly
Install it at home on Wi-Fi. It stays off until you switch it on for data at your destination.
Keep your own SIM
Your usual SIM stays in for calls and texts. Set the Veela eSIM as your line for mobile data.
Help when you're there
The assistant answers in your language at any hour, and a person picks up anything it can't fix.
Tips for South Korea
- Install Naver Map or KakaoMap before you go: in Korea they give walking and subway directions more reliably than Google Maps.
- Papago translates menus and signs through the camera, but live camera translation uses data quickly. For more than five days, 10 GB is a safer pick.
- On a group tour you'll still want your own data for free time in Myeongdong or Hongdae, when maps and messages matter most.
South Korea eSIM questions
Does it work on Jeju Island?
Yes, the plan covers all of South Korea, including Jeju and Busan.
Do I get a Korean phone number?
No, the eSIM is data only. Use KakaoTalk, WhatsApp or iMessage for calls and messages. Some Korean apps ask for a local number to sign up; your home number usually works for verification.
When does the plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in South Korea. Installing it at home doesn't start the clock.
Is my phone compatible?
Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number and your phone is unlocked, it works. See the compatibility checker for common models.
Can I top up?
Yes. From your account, add data to the same eSIM without reinstalling it.
