Phones in Korea

Never fear a phone is always near! Korea is the land of cell phone and mobile messaging gadgets. Phones in Korea are often 2 or 3 years ahead of the stuff we get and they are often available at 1/4 the price!

Often you can purchase a phone from one of the teachers that is leaving which would run around 20,000 Won. New phones can also be purchased with the help of your school (acting as a guarantor). The can range from 60,000 Won to 250,000 Won or more but they will have a wide variety of phones and cool features to choose from. Monthly fees will range from 10,000 Won to 40,000 Won. If you're calling long distance be sure to use a CALLING CARD. These can be purchased at corner stores and will save you a fortune.

Land lines are not too badly priced, you do pay a small fee each time you dial out, however it is not too expensive.

Mathew Smallwood

Mathew Smallwood “A calm breeze lightly tosses my hair about, as I stroll the waterfront not far from my apartment. The waves crashing the shore have an intoxicating scent that propels all sorts of pleasant daydreaming. Am I in paradise? No I am most certainly not. But I am in a country I was dying to visit, and got more than I anticipated. Footprints Recruiting set me up with an ideal job that fits my teaching desires and has thus provided a backdrop to an amazing experience. I left for Korea in October of 2003, and I am currently teaching in Haeundae Beach Busan. Footprints takes care of you in a way that dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s are just the tip of the iceberg. I recommend this to the adventure seeking minds.”
