Eligibility check

Can you get a phone in Korea?

Three questions about your ARC and visa. We'll tell you whether a postpaid line and installments are possible — in your language.

This check covers switching your number to KT, changing a device on an existing KT line, and opening a new Korean number.

What we ask, and why

ARC (Alien Registration Card)
The ID card you receive after registering your stay with Korean immigration. Have your physical card ready.
Visa type
The code printed on your ARC, such as D-2 (student) or E-2 (teacher). It decides whether installments are available.
What you need
A new phone, a lower-cost phone, or a SIM-only plan for the phone you already have.

This is a first check. We confirm the final result with you before anything is activated.

Galaxy S26 Ultra · 2025-03-02

First time buying a phone through KT Market. Preordered the S26 Ultra — device arrived early and was activated on day one. After two weeks of comparing offers I'm convinced this was the right call. Transparent fixed pricing builds trust, and as a KT user I could even apply credit-card points for a better deal.

Ordered and received the next morning in Seoul. Got the 256GB White Titanium with both the KT subsidy and selective contract discount — really reasonable price. Ordering, delivery, guidance, the product itself — everything was smooth.

Bought after a KakaoTalk consultation. The staff was patient and explained every detail. Discount was much bigger than buying unlocked or at a regular dealer — very fair price. They also took care of all my special requests. Thank you!

Applied online and got the phone the very next day. I checked every nearby phone shop, but once I added up the 2-year total with contract plans and partner cards, KT Market came out way ahead. Fast, friendly, and simple.

Bought 256GB Black Titanium in Ulsan via phone consultation. The rep was sharp and very kind. Delivery arrived next morning. Super satisfied — I'll keep buying here and I'm already recommending it to friends.

I was looking at unlocked devices when I found KT Market. After the subsidies the installment principal was actually cheaper than buying unlocked, so I went with it. Very satisfied — I'll come back next time.

Bought iPhone 17 256GB Black. I'd been burned at a so-called "deal shop" before. Honestly, there's no need to visit those places at all. I'm telling everyone I know.

Preordered the iPhone 17 — really happy. Fast delivery, and the best part was the plan recommendation: sensible, no pushy add-ons. Refreshingly uncomplicated. Thank you.

The rep was super patient with all my pre-application questions, which built my trust. Pricing was reasonable with all the early-bird benefits, and I appreciated being able to choose a plan I actually wanted instead of being forced into an expensive one.

Used an iPhone 11 for nearly 6 years — it was overheating and slow to charge. Sticking with the same carrier (device change only) here at KT Market got me the biggest subsidy, so the decision was easy. Activation took a few days, and they even gave Naver points to make up for the delay. Case and screen protector were included too. Very happy with the choice.

Bought the iPhone 17 Lavender at a great price. Other dealers tag on expensive plans and add-on services, but the plan and discount here were both reasonable with no surprises. I expected just the phone, but a clear case came in the box too.

So affordable I got one for myself and one for my girlfriend! No fake card-discount tricks — just the real subsidy applied directly. Highly recommend! And it arrived super quickly.

Thank you for the friendly, detailed consultation. Stock was tight for the iPhone 17, so I expected a wait — but I ordered at midnight, got a happy-call in the morning, and received it by next-day express. Solid deal with the device discount and an add-on-free selective contract.

Explanations about plans and discounts were really easy to follow, and the consultation was friendly. Pricing was the most reasonable I found anywhere. Switching phones is always stressful, but KT Market's pricing and process work for me — I'll keep buying here. The screen protector and charger were a nice bonus.

iPhone 17 Pro Natural Titanium 256GB by number portability in Seongnam. The titanium looks even better in person. Arrived fast, activated before work. Other places kept pushing add-ons, but the manager here answered everything clearly and gave me the best deal. Recommend to everyone.
