How to open a mobile phone to Korea? Urgent!

China Mobile has just launched the one-phone-two service between China and South Korea. The Korean partner is KTF, and the monthly fee is 29 yuan. Local calls are .99 yuan/minute, and calls to China are 2.99 yuan/minute. Answering is free (including receiving calls from China). Although the phone bill for making local calls is more expensive than renting a plane locally (1 won/min =.5 yuan/min), as long as you stay in South Korea for more than three days, the rental fee will be less, and it will be cheaper to make calls to China, and you can keep the China phone open. I just applied (the service specialist said that I got the first Korean number after the opening of this business), and I will go to Korea the day after tomorrow to see how it works.

also, the network in Korea is WCDMA, and many newer GSM mobile phones support WCDMA network (parallel imports will be better, and many Nokia support it). I have a Nokia E61i that has been used for two years, and actually supports WCDMA. You don't need to rent a Korean mobile phone (remember: if you don't open the one-phone-two service between China and South Korea, take a GSM mobile phone with China Mobile SIM card supporting WCDMA network and use it in South Korea, that's the standard international roaming rate, which is 8.99 yuan/minute for calling China, 5.99 yuan/minute for being called and 3.99 yuan/minute for making local calls).

if you are in Korea for a short time and can make a lot of local calls, you can rent a plane in Korea and go to the Korean airport 24 hours a day. The rental fee is 3 won/day (if you make a reservation, it is 2 won/day =1 yuan/day), and you will be given a KTF or SKT number, and the local call is 1 won/minute.

But if you want to keep China Mobile's number open, you can only have another mobile phone that supports WCDMA (you can rent it in China or South Korea, and China Mobile has this service, giving it to Nokia 66 or N95). The method of transferring calls to Korean mobile phone numbers is too expensive. In a word, one card with many numbers is the best solution.

Roaming by renting a plane in Korea

Because the network standard in Korea is different from that of China Mobile, you need to change your mobile phone when roaming in Korea. At present, customers can choose domestic airport pick-up and overseas airport hire service.

(1) domestic airport pick-up and call-to-call roaming

For domestic airport pick-up, you need to go to the business hall to rent a plane and rent a Korean mobile phone. The mobile phone comes with a Korean number, and customers need to transfer their mobile phones to this Korean number before leaving the country, so that customers can not only make calls in Korea, but also receive calls to their global mobile phone numbers.

1. Go through the formalities: present the customer's valid ID and certificate, and pay the mobile phone deposit. Please consult 186 for details.

2. set/cancel call forwarding: you need to set call forwarding before going abroad, enter "all incoming calls forwarding" under the call forwarding submenu on the mobile phone menu, and set the call forwarding number to Korean number. If the Korean number is 11ABCDEFGH, you need to set the call forwarding number as 8211ABCDEFGH, where is the international prefix and 82 is the Korean country code. Please cancel the call transfer in time after returning to China.

3. Return the plane: you need to go to the business hall where you rent the plane as soon as possible after returning home.

please note: this method can only accept incoming calls to your GSM mobile phone number, and cannot accept short messages sent to your GSM mobile phone number.

(II) Roaming for overseas airport pickup

To handle overseas airport pickup, you need to go to the business hall in advance to make an appointment to rent a plane. After the customer leaves the country, he will get a mobile phone at the designated Korean business acceptance point with his passport, insert his SIM card (with international roaming function enabled in advance) into the mobile phone and use it, and still use his mobile phone number.

1. go through the procedures of booking a plane: you need to go to the business hall to go through the procedures of booking a plane in advance to pick up the plane overseas. Customers are required to provide valid ID, passport number and departure flight number. Customers can choose the pick-up place, return place, pick-up time and return time, and pay the mobile phone deposit. Please consult 186 for details.

2. Pick-up: After the customer leaves the country, he/she will get a mobile phone at the designated Korean business acceptance point with his/her passport.

3. Return procedures: Before leaving Korea, return the plane to the designated Korean business acceptance point. Go to the business hall for renting the plane as soon as possible after returning home.
