In South Korea, public Wi-Fi is widely available in hotels, shops, public transport, and most buildings, but generally not on the streets. e-SIMs (e.g., from Trip.com for Asia coverage) are a popular and effective solution for mobile data. Users report high data allowances (e.g., 100GB/day) at competitive prices (around 1800 RUB for 14 days) and good network speeds, even for video calls, often surpassing hotel Wi-Fi. e-SIMs typically do not come with a phone number; communication is primarily via internet-based messengers (e.g., Telegram works without VPN). A physical Russian SIM card will be inactive while the e-SIM is in use, requiring manual switching for calls or SMS (e.g., for hotel check-in verification).
