👥

2 to 5 lines per bundle

Group together with friends, roommates, partners — any combination of 3G, LTE, and 5G KT lines.

🌍

Any nationality, mixed OK

Updated rule: foreigners can bundle with foreigners of any nationality, or with Korean KT customers — no restriction.

📅

Apply within next month

New activations, device upgrades, and contract renewals must apply by the end of the following month to get the discount.

A representative line is chosen at signup (with consent). Existing KT subscribers can also join just for Family Box data-sharing benefits — even without the discount.

BEFORE YOU VISIT

What you'll need to sign up

Postpaid plans require a few documents. Bring these to any of our 4 stores.

1

Alien Registration Card (ARC)

Your physical ARC issued by Korean Immigration. Postpaid is not available with passport only.

  • Must be valid (not expired)
  • Remaining validity affects contract length
  • D-2, D-4, E-series, F-series all OK
2

Korean payment method

For monthly auto-billing. We accept Korean bank accounts and most major cards.

  • Korean bank account (with bankbook or app)
  • Korean-issued credit/debit card
  • Foreign cards: case-by-case — ask in advance
3

Passport (recommended)

Bring it as a secondary ID. Useful for name verification and any address discrepancy.

  • Same name as ARC (ideally)
  • Helps speed up the process
4

Phone (unlocked) or buy here

Bring your own unlocked device or purchase one from us at the same time.

  • Most global phones work on KT 5G
  • eSIM available for supported devices
  • iPhone & Galaxy on sale in-store
FAQ

Common questions, answered.

Everything you might want to confirm before signing a contract.

Do I really need an ARC for postpaid?
Yes. Postpaid plans require a valid Alien Registration Card — passport alone is not enough. If you don't have your ARC yet, start with a Prepaid plan and convert later with the same number (Mega Telecom credits up to 2 months of your prepaid charges back).
What's the difference between Welcome and regular 5G plans?
Welcome plans are foreigner-only and include two key perks:
  • 001 Free — 120 international minutes counted from your basic minutes (no separate ₩5,500/mo fee)
  • Remittance fee waiver coupon — free overseas money transfers
5G Simple/Slim/Choice plans are open to everyone. If you make few international calls but want more data, regular plans may actually be cheaper.
How does 001 Free actually work?
Dial 001 + country code + phone number. International minutes are deducted from your basic voice quota at a tier-based rate:
  • Tier 1 countries (US, China, etc.): 1 minute = 1 minute
  • Tier 2 (Japan, UK, Vietnam, etc.): 1 minute = 1.67 minutes deducted
  • Tier 3 (Philippines, Nepal, etc.): 1 minute = 2.5 minutes deducted
When mixing domestic and international, minutes are deducted proportionally. Beyond 38 covered countries, the standard 001 Essence rate applies.
How does the Friendship Bundle work for foreigners?
As of the 2024 policy update, any KT mobile customer can bundle — no nationality restriction. You and 1–4 friends (any nationality, including Korean) each get a monthly discount based on your plan's monthly fee. A representative line is chosen at signup. New activations and renewals must apply by the end of the following month.
What about cancellation and contract terms?
Plans cannot be canceled within the first 6 months. The 25% discount applies only with a 1- or 2-year contract. Early termination after 6 months is possible but may incur a discount-recovery fee proportional to the months used. For long stays in Korea (1+ year), postpaid is significantly cheaper than prepaid.
Can I bundle internet with postpaid to save more?
Yes — Choice plans (Premium / Special / Basic) get an extra 25% off when bundled with a KT home internet line in the same household. For other plans, smaller bundle discounts (₩11,000–33,110/month) apply via the "Total Bundle Discount" program. Check our Internet / TV page for home internet options.
What language support do you offer?
Our Itaewon Global Store has multilingual staff (English, Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese). All 4 of our stores support foreign customers. KT's official foreigner hotline: 080-448-0100 (English / Chinese / Vietnamese / Russian).
Can I use eSIM on Welcome plans?
Yes. eSIM activation fee is ₩2,750 (vs ₩7,700 for physical USIM). Make sure your device supports eSIM and is unlocked. Some Korean-bought iPhones support dual eSIM; check before visiting.
