Does anyone here know where I can buy a pre paid sim card for South Korea? Will the airport sell one in the arrivals terminal? I'm planning on buying an unlocked 4S.

Any Help is much appreciated.

just to make sure I understand

Thanks for the reply,

So to make sure I understand your response. I could simply buy a sim from a 711 in South Korea, and cut away to make it fit in my unlocked iPhone 4S and it will work? Or are you saying that there is no sim support in Korea like in Hong Kong and I can't use a sim card in my unlocked phone.

I found this post that may help. Also, check this site. I'm not affiliated with that site. I have an unlocked 4S, and I plan on using it when I go to Korea next summer.
