Best eSIM for South Korea in 2026: 5 Plans I Recommend
Best eSIM for South Korea in 2026: I compare travel eSIMs with unlimited data, calls and hotspot, and say when a Korean SIM card is worth it.
Quick answer
For South Korea, I recommend Ubigi, on a fixed plan and on unlimited data alike. Take its 10 GB for 30 days at $14.00. It costs less than Airalo or Nomad charge for the same plan. On unlimited data, Ubigi's week at $25.00 is the one to buy, because when its fast data is used up, it slows down less than the other unlimited plans I compared.
You have a week or two in South Korea, and you want your phone online from the moment you land.
Most travel eSIMs for Korea connect you to the country's main networks, and many of them also sell unlimited plans. But what's behind that word? Is "unlimited" really unlimited?
So I put eight travel eSIMs side by side at the same sizes and lengths, then went through each plan's details for its Korean networks and for how much of its unlimited data stays fast. Five picks for different kinds of trips follow, and you'll see when a Korean SIM card is worth it and what an eSIM covers instead.
Key things to consider when using an eSIM in South Korea
Data does a lot of work on a Korea trip, and the right plan depends on how you move.
- Gigabytes and days: Most travelers here open Naver Map or KakaoMap for directions, keep a translation app close and send photos home as they go. A week of that is a light trip, while a month of remote work in Seoul is another size altogether. Most fixed plans for Korea last 30 days, so even a 10-day trip chooses by gigabytes. Unlimited plans are sold by the day.
- Coverage across the country: Coverage is strong in the cities. Korea has three mobile networks, SK Telecom, KT and LG U+, and 5G is common in Seoul and Busan.
- What the price buys here: Look at gigabytes, days, hotspot, which of the three networks the plan names, and how fast an "unlimited" plan stays once its fast data is gone. A plan on two networks doesn't cost extra in Korea, and some of the best 10 GB prices come on plans that name two.
- KakaoTalk, calls and Korean sign-ups: Most travel eSIMs are data only, so calls go through apps. A few eSIMs add call minutes or a foreign number, but none comes with a Korean (+82) one.
My picks
- Best for calls: Jetpac eSIM for South Korea, 5 GB for 30 days at $11.00, with call minutes in the app and no number to buy.
- Best for most trips: Ubigi eSIM for South Korea, 10 GB for 30 days at $14.00, less than the other seven eSIMs I compared charge for 10 GB.
- Best for heavy daily use: Saily eSIM for South Korea, unlimited for 7 days at $26.99, with 5 GB a day at full speed.
- Best for stays longer than a month: Roamless eSIM for South Korea, unlimited for 60 days at $90.00, one plan for the exact length of your stay.
- Best for short trips: Nomad eSIM for South Korea, unlimited for 3 days at $11.00, on all three Korean networks.
Their fixed plans also sit on one page of ours, so you can see today's prices for all five before you pay.

Best eSIM for South Korea: 10 GB and 20 GB plans compared
On a fixed plan, the best eSIM for South Korea is Ubigi: 10 GB for 30 days costs $14.00, $3.00 less than Jetpac's sale price. For more data, take Ubigi's 25 GB at $25.00. No 20 GB plan from the other seven costs that little, and Nomad's at $28.00 comes nearest.
| Provider | 10 GB, 30 days | 20 GB, 30 days | 1 GB costs (20 GB or nearest plan) | Networks in South Korea | Hotspot | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ubigi | $14.00 | not offered (25 GB: $25.00) | $1.00 (25 GB plan) | SK Telecom, LG U+ | Yes | most trips, 25 GB |
| Jetpac | $17.00 (on sale) | $43.00 (30 GB: $34.99 on sale) | $2.15 | SK Telecom, KT | Yes | calls |
| Nomad | $18.00 | $28.00 | $1.40 | SK Telecom, LG U+ (unlimited: SK Telecom, KT, LG U+) | Yes | short trips |
| Roamless | $18.95 | $29.95 | $1.50 | SK Telecom (FAQ: also LG U+) | Yes | stays longer than a month |
| Saily | $18.99 | $29.99 | $1.50 | not named | Yes | heavy daily use |
| Airalo | $19.00 | $30.00 | $1.50 | SK Telecom | Yes | a year to start the plan |
| eSIMo | $19.90 | $28.90 | $1.45 | SK Telecom, KT | Yes | 20 GB with KT |
| AirHub | not offered (12 GB: $15.50) | not offered (23 GB: $26.50) | $1.15 (23 GB plan) | SK Telecom | Yes | a 10-day unlimited plan |

Unlimited data eSIMs for South Korea: Ubigi for a week, Saily for heavy days
For a week of unlimited data on a South Korea eSIM, I recommend Ubigi. Its $25.00 week keeps 25 GB at full speed for all seven days, then runs at 2 Mbps. Nomad's unlimited week costs the same. Its fast data on unlimited plans, though, is 2 GB a day, then 512 kbps.
| Provider | 3 days | 7 days | 30 days | Fast data | Speed after | Resets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ubigi | not offered | $25.00 | $49.00 | 7 days: 25 GB in all; 30 days: 60 GB in all | 2 Mbps | no daily reset |
| Nomad | $11.00 | $25.00 | not offered (10 days: $33.00) | 2 GB a day | 512 kbps | not stated |
| Roamless | $11.88 | $26.25 | $67.50 | 3 GB a day | 1 Mbps | 24 hours from first use |
| Saily | not offered (5 days: $18.99) | $26.99 | $71.99 | 5 GB a day | up to 1 Mbps | not stated |
| Jetpac | $12.99 | $26.99 | $65.99 (on sale) | 3 GB every 24 hours | up to 1 Mbps | every 24 hours |
| Airalo | $12.00 | $29.00 | $69.00 | 3 GB a day (Airalo's default) | 1 Mbps | every 24 hours from activation |
| AirHub | not offered (1 day: $3.99) | not offered (5 days: $20.50; 10 days: $26.50) | $48.00 | not stated | not stated | not stated |
Most unlimited plans for Korea give you a set amount of fast data each day, from 2 GB on Nomad to 5 GB on Saily, and the plan keeps going at a slower speed once it's used. Daily plans get a new allowance each day. Nomad and Saily don't say at what hour it resets. Ubigi counts one amount for the whole plan instead: 25 GB for 7 days, 30 GB for 15 days and 60 GB for 30 days.
Spread over the days, Ubigi's week comes to about 3.5 GB a day, more than the 3 GB a day on the unlimited plans of Jetpac, Roamless and Airalo. The month is different. Ubigi's 30 days come to about 2 GB a day, so on a month of heavy use those three unlimited plans keep more of it fast.
For heavy days, such as uploading a day's photos and videos or keeping a laptop on the hotspot all day, Saily keeps 5 GB a day at full speed on its unlimited plans, at $26.99 for a week. Jetpac's unlimited week costs the same with 3 GB a day.
For a whole month, I recommend Ubigi's 30 days at $49.00, with 60 GB at full speed in all. AirHub's month costs $1.00 less. AirHub doesn't say how much of it is fast. Past a month, Roamless sells unlimited by the exact number of days.
South Korea travel eSIMs: my five picks up close
Jetpac eSIM for South Korea: best for calls
Pros
- SK Telecom and KT on one plan
- Calls to any number from $1.99
- 4G/5G and unlimited hotspot
- Free WhatsApp chat when data runs out
Cons
- No SMS and no phone number
- 10 GB price is a sale price
For a place you can't reach in an app, a call is the fallback, and for that I recommend the Jetpac eSIM for South Korea. Jetpac sells outgoing minutes from $1.99 with no number to buy, while Saily's calls go both ways only after you add a US number and a call-and-text plan, so Jetpac fits a few calls to a guesthouse or a restaurant and Saily a number that also takes calls. If you never call anyone, skip it: Nomad's 5 GB plan costs $1.00 less.
Take the 5 GB plan for 30 days and add a voice pack when a call comes up. While the sale lasts, Jetpac's 30 GB plan costs less than its 20 GB one. Each voice pack lasts 30 days and calls out from the Jetpac app. Calls go out only. Jetpac has no SMS and no number.
Jetpac names SK Telecom and KT for Korea.
Proof: Jetpac confirms its South Korea eSIM uses SK Telecom and KT
On top of the two networks, Jetpac promises a 4G/5G connection, unlimited hotspot and voice packs to call any number.
Proof: Jetpac confirms 4G/5G, unlimited hotspot and voice packs from $1.99 for its South Korea eSIM
Jetpac keeps the first 3 GB of every 24 hours at full speed, then up to 1 Mbps until the next 24 hours begin, on its unlimited plans.
Proof: Jetpac confirms 3 GB every 24 hours at full speed, then up to 1 Mbps, on its unlimited South Korea plans
Your plan starts when you activate the eSIM or connect to a Korean network. An eSIM you haven't activated waits in your account for 3 months.
Jetpac plans for South Korea
- 3 GB for 1 day: $6.50
- 1 GB for 4 days: $7.00
- 5 GB for 30 days: $11.00

- 15 GB for 30 days: $22.50 (on sale)

Ubigi eSIM for South Korea: best for most trips
Pros
- 10 GB for less than Jetpac or Nomad
- LG U+ and SK Telecom, both with 5G
- 2 Mbps after the fast data on unlimited plans
- Plan starts when you land in Korea
Cons
- No calls, texts or phone number
Ubigi sells 10 GB for Korea two ways: for 7 days at $12.00, or for 30 days at $2.00 more. Go for the 30-day plan. The 7-day one ends after a week even if data is left. Every Ubigi plan is data only, so for calls look at Jetpac.
Ubigi's plan page shows 5G on both of its Korean networks, LG U+ and SK Telecom. On iPhone, that 5G needs iOS 16 or later.
Proof: Ubigi's South Korea plan page shows 5G on LG U+ and SK Telecom
Sharing your data with a laptop is fine. The plan page puts it in three words: "Data sharing allowed."
Proof: Ubigi confirms data sharing is allowed on its South Korea plans
The unlimited week holds 25 GB at full speed and then slows to 2 Mbps, the fastest speed after the fast data of any plan that states one.
Proof: Ubigi confirms 25 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps, on its 7-day unlimited South Korea plan
Your plan starts when you arrive in Korea, not when you install it. I set up my eSIM at home on Wi-Fi before every flight, and with Ubigi that costs none of the plan's days.
Ubigi plans for South Korea
- 1 GB for 7 days: $3.00
- 3 GB for 7 days: $7.00
- 10 GB for 7 days: $12.00
- 10 GB for 30 days: $14.00
- 25 GB for 30 days: $25.00
- Unlimited for 7 days: $25.00
- Unlimited for 15 days: $34.00
- Unlimited for 30 days: $49.00
- 60 GB for 12 months (Annual plan, 5 GB a month): $49.00

Saily eSIM for South Korea: best for heavy daily use
Pros
- 5 GB a day on unlimited plans
- Virtual locations and an ad blocker in the app
- No hotspot limits
- A US phone number as an add-on
Cons
- 10 GB costs more than at Ubigi
- Unlimited week costs more than Ubigi's
For travelers who use a lot of data each day, I recommend the Saily eSIM for South Korea. A day of photo and video uploads, streaming at night or a laptop on the hotspot still runs at full speed, because Saily's unlimited plans keep 5 GB a day without a speed limit, then up to 1 Mbps. If directions and chats are all you need, a fixed 10 GB plan such as Ubigi's costs less.
Proof: Saily confirms 5 GB a day without a speed limit, then up to 1 Mbps, on its unlimited plans
Over a week, 5 GB a day adds up to 35 GB at full speed on an unlimited plan. Plans run from 5 to 30 days.
Saily names no Korean network. Saily's page only says it connects to "the best local network carriers". On speed, Saily promises 5G "depending on local network providers", and for hotspot "No hotspot restrictions or limitations."
Proof: Saily confirms 5G where local networks offer it and no hotspot limits in South Korea
In the Saily app you can add a US phone number with a call and text plan, and change your virtual location. An ad blocker comes with the app too.
Proof: Saily confirms you can add a US phone number to its eSIM app
The plan starts on arrival, as long as the Saily eSIM is turned on with roaming enabled. Every plan gives you 180 days to activate it.
Saily plans for South Korea
- 1 GB for 7 days: $3.99
- 3 GB for 30 days: $8.99
- 5 GB for 30 days: $10.99
- 10 GB for 30 days: $18.99
- 20 GB for 30 days: $29.99
- Unlimited for 5 days: $18.99

Roamless eSIM for South Korea: best for stays longer than a month
Pros
- Unlimited for any length up to 90 days
- 3 GB a day on unlimited plans
- Unlimited hotspot
- Our promo code at checkout
Cons
- Unlimited month costs more than Ubigi's
Two months in Seoul fit on one Roamless eSIM for South Korea: 60 days of unlimited data cost $90.00. None of the other seven sells unlimited past 30 days, and Roamless sells it for any number of days from 1 to 90, with 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps.
Proof: Roamless confirms unlimited plans for 1 to 90 days in South Korea, with 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps
Buy unlimited for your exact stay. Those 60 days cost $8.00 less than two Ubigi months back to back. The price per day also drops after 30 days, so 31 days cost $62.31, less than 30 days at $67.50. For a month or less, Ubigi's 30 days cost less.
Roamless's plan page names SK Telecom with 5G, and its FAQ adds LG U+. Hotspot is listed as "Unlimited".
Proof: Roamless confirms SK Telecom with 5G and unlimited hotspot on its South Korea eSIM
Your Roamless plan only starts once the eSIM connects to a Korean carrier.
Our code works at the Roamless checkout.

Nomad eSIM for South Korea: best for short trips
Pros
- SK Telecom, KT and LG U+ on unlimited plans
- 3-day unlimited below Roamless, Airalo and Jetpac
- Hotspot on every plan
- Data top-ups on fixed plans
Cons
- 4G only
- 512 kbps after 2 GB a day on unlimited plans
Three days of unlimited data cost $11.00 on the Nomad eSIM for South Korea, less than Roamless, Airalo or Jetpac charge for the same three days. Nomad's unlimited plans also name all three Korean networks, as no other plan I compared does, so Nomad is my pick for short trips, such as a long weekend in Seoul or a few days between flights. On Trustpilot, Nomad is rated 4.3 out of 5 from 47,141 reviews.
Buy the 3-day unlimited. Take 5 or 7 days if you stay longer. You get 2 GB a day at full speed, then 512 kbps, with hotspot allowed, on Nomad's unlimited plans.
Proof: Nomad confirms SK Telecom, KT and LG U+, hotspot and 2 GB a day on its unlimited South Korea plans
For five days, Saily costs $0.99 more and keeps 5 GB a day fast instead of 2 GB.
You can add data to a fixed Nomad plan but not to an unlimited one. The fixed plans run on LG U+ and SK Telecom at 4G. A Nomad plan starts when it connects in Korea, or by itself 60 days after you buy.
Nomad plans for South Korea
- 1 GB for 7 days: $4.00
- 3 GB for 30 days: $8.00
- 5 GB for 30 days: $10.00
- 10 GB for 30 days: $18.00
- 20 GB for 30 days: $28.00

Coverage in South Korea: SK Telecom, KT or LG U+ behind each eSIM
Which towers your phone uses in Korea depends on the network behind your eSIM, not on its brand. The country has three: SK Telecom, KT and LG U+.
Korea's 5G is dense. Per South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT, the country has 593 5G base stations per 100,000 people, the most among OECD members. So a plan with 5G pays off in the cities, while Nomad stays on 4G.
Outside the cities, Roamless says the signal "thins in the mountains and on the smaller islands".
Every eSIM that names its Korean network includes SK Telecom. What differs is the second one: KT on Jetpac and eSIMo, LG U+ on Ubigi and Nomad's fixed plans.
| eSIM | SK Telecom | KT | LG U+ | 5G |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nomad, unlimited plans | Yes | Yes | Yes | No: 4G |
| Nomad, data plans | Yes | No | Yes | No: 4G |
| Ubigi | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
| Jetpac | Yes | Yes | No | Yes |
| eSIMo | Yes | Yes | No | Yes |
| Roamless | Yes | No | Yes: in its FAQ | Yes |
| Airalo | Yes | not stated | not stated | not stated |
| AirHub | Yes | No | No | Yes |
| Saily | not named | not named | not named | Yes: where the network has it |
eSIM or a prepaid South Korea SIM card for tourists?
An eSIM is what I recommend for a trip to Korea. You buy one before you fly, install the eSIM on an iPhone or on an Android phone while you're still at home, and it connects once the plane is down, with no counter to find on arrival.
A Korean number is the one thing a travel eSIM can't give you. Per The Soul of Seoul's SIM guide, ticket sites for concerts and musicals, restaurant reservation apps and some delivery apps ask to verify one. That number comes only with a Korean carrier's prepaid SIM card or its own tourist eSIM, and it is registered to your passport. You pick the SIM up at a counter at Incheon airport or in Seoul. Take one only when you need that number.
My guide to eSIM vs SIM card for travel compares the two in detail.
Visiting Japan too? The best eSIM for Japan and South Korea
For an eSIM for Japan and South Korea, I recommend Nomad Asia Pacific: 10 GB for 30 days costs $21.00 and covers 14 countries, the two of them included. Jetpac's Asia Pacific plan costs less. That holds only during its sale. Ubigi's Best Asia asks $28.00 for 10 GB, twice its Korea-only price.
| Plan | 10 GB, 30 days | Countries |
|---|---|---|
| Jetpac Asia Pacific | $19.99 (on sale) | 17 |
| Nomad Asia Pacific | $21.00 | 14 |
| Roamless Asia & Oceania | $24.95 | 20 |
| Airalo Asia | $25.00 | 18 |
| Ubigi Best Asia | $28.00 | 17 |
For unlimited data in both countries, Jetpac's Asia Pacific week costs $24.99 on sale, with 3 GB every 24 hours at full speed. Roamless covers the two on one balance, in its own words: "One Balance covers both, so you cross from Korea to Japan without a second eSIM."
For Japan's own plans, see my guide to the best eSIM for Japan. On our homepage, add every country of a longer route through Asia and see which plans cover all of them, or browse Asia eSIM plans.
My verdict: which eSIM should you buy for South Korea?
Seoul, Busan and Jeju are usually well covered on any of my five picks. For hiking trails and the smaller islands, take a plan with more than one network: Ubigi or Jetpac, or Nomad's unlimited plans with all three.
For most trips, the best eSIM for South Korea is Ubigi, with its 10 GB plan or its unlimited week, since it sells 10 GB for less than the other seven. On heavy days of uploads and streaming, Saily keeps 5 GB a day at full speed on its unlimited plans.
For calls, take Jetpac. Roamless covers a stay past a month on one plan, and Nomad's 3-day unlimited fits a long weekend in Seoul.
Frequently asked questions
Which eSIM is best for Seoul?+
For Seoul, I recommend Ubigi. Its 10 GB lasts 30 days. Light days and heavy ones draw from the same plan, with 5G on both of its Korean networks.
Do I need an eSIM for South Korea?+
Yes, an eSIM is my advice for any Korea trip. Nobody asks for your passport, there's no airport queue, and you're online as soon as the plane lands. Only one thing needs a Korean SIM card: a Korean phone number for bookings.
Can I get a South Korea eSIM with a phone number?+
For a Korean (+82) number, you need a Korean SIM card or a Korean carrier's own eSIM, since no Korean number comes with any of the eight travel eSIMs I compared. If you take an AirHub voice plan, pick one on SK Telecom, because a few voice plans there run on Hong Kong's 3 network. A few eSIMs add a foreign number or calls:
| eSIM | Phone number | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| AirHub | Yes | a French (+33) number with 20 GB and unlimited minutes, on SK Telecom | $25.99 for 30 days |
| Saily | Yes | a US (+1) number added in the app, with a call and text plan and an ID check | $1.99 a month |
| Roamless | Yes | a number from the US, Canada, the UK or Australia | $6.95 a month |
| Jetpac | No | outgoing calls to any number from the app | from $1.99 for 5 minutes |
| Nomad, Ubigi, eSIMo, Airalo | No | data only | not offered |
Can I use WhatsApp and KakaoTalk with a South Korea eSIM?+
Yes. Both apps run over data, so any of these eSIMs carries them. WhatsApp keeps your own number, and KakaoTalk can be set up with a foreign number over Wi-Fi. On Jetpac plans from 3 GB, WhatsApp chat goes on working after the data runs out.
What is the cheapest eSIM for South Korea?+
Every plan we track sits on our South Korea page, with prices updated daily. Here I compared eight popular brands, and smaller ones often sell Korea plans for less. Sort the page by size and days to see the lowest price for your trip.
Will my phone work with a South Korea eSIM?+
Two things decide it: eSIM support and a phone that isn't carrier-locked. The Korea eSIM works alongside your home SIM, which stays in the phone with your number active. If a carrier sold you the phone on a contract, ask it to unlock the phone before you fly. Find your model among the phones that support eSIM.
This list isn't complete. If your model isn't here, check the phone's settings or dial *#06# to look for an EID.

What eSIM should I get for a month or longer in South Korea?+
For a month, take Ubigi's 30-day unlimited at $49.00, because 60 GB of it runs at full speed and the plan still works at 2 Mbps after that. Nomad's 50 GB costs less, but it runs on 4G and stops at 50 GB. For longer than 30 days, Roamless sells unlimited for the exact number of days.
Can I use a South Korea eSIM as a hotspot?+
Yes. Hotspot works on all eight, so a laptop or a friend's phone can use your data.
| eSIM | Hotspot | What the provider says |
|---|---|---|
| Jetpac | Yes | "no data limits, no restrictions" |
| Ubigi | Yes | "Data sharing allowed" |
| Saily | Yes | "No hotspot restrictions or limitations" |
| Roamless | Yes | "Unlimited" |
| Nomad | Yes | "Hotspot: Yes" |
| AirHub | Yes | "Hotspot supports" |
| Airalo | Yes | "as long as it is supported by your device and the network" |
| eSIMo | Yes | "support personal hotspot sharing" |
Shared data counts toward your plan, and on unlimited plans toward its fast data. Limits differ from plan to plan, so read your plan's technical details before paying.
How much data do I need for a week in South Korea?+
Ubigi's 10 GB is good for 30 days, and a week in South Korea usually uses only part of it. The rest stays for later days. Uploading videos or a laptop on the hotspot all day calls for an unlimited plan instead. Put your own use into the calculator below.
