How does a South Korea eSIM work?

An eSIM is an embedded SIM card, and you probably already have an eSIM-compatible device. When you install an eSIM for a country or region, it lets your device connect to local networks in that area. This means your device will have data without needing Wi-Fi or paying roaming charges.

Will I pay roaming charges with prepaid South Korea data from an eSIM?

When you’re using an eSIM for data and have your Data Roaming settings configured correctly, you won’t pay a penny in data roaming fees.

That’s because when you’re using a South Korea eSIM, your smartphone is immediately linked to a great local network in South Korea, so you won’t be using your regular data plan from back home.

(Just remember to turn off Data Roaming on your Primary SIM card to avoid roaming charges on your next bill).
