I have a Nokia E71 and it requires a USIM, if you sign with KT you can use your phone. Do some research online to see if anyone else has used your model. That's how I knew mine would work. You will have to register your phone through the KCC website first but once that's done you can take the phone w/the registration to a KT Global store and they will help. Actually she can.

Are cellphones as necessary in Korea as they have become in the states? That's a serious drag that you have to go through so much as a foreigner. And which service is the best (best reception)? Is it the most expensive one, or that just gives you the best phones?
