Att Gsm Phone
Would a international GSM phone using ATT work in South Korea without gettign roaming charges?
Im getting stationed at Osan AB and i was wondering if i should buy a world phone off ebay or a phone that at least runs on the same frequency as those used in Korea.
I currently have a Blackberry 8110 with the Blackberry Unlimited w/ Tethering Plan
Japan and Korea use 3G technology, so you would need to verify the phone you purchase is a 3G device, like the iPhone for instance. If so, you can activate the device here in the states under AT&T or T-Mobile (also Verizon and Sprint now offer limited world phones with GSM technology).
The thing is, you will be living there - so in order to use AT&T for instance you will need to activate international dialing, international roaming, and also international data if you want to use a PDA for email for instance. International voice will provide you discounted roaming rates, but you will STILL incur additional charges - just at a discounted rate! On the data side, you must select a plan by the kilo-bit. Blackberry devices are unique in that they have unlimited international data roaming -- this is great but is also expensive - about $50.
World traveler and World connect will run you around $10 per month - this enables you to make and receive voice calls internationally. This is on top of whatever voice plan you might have, and does not include international data which could run between 50-100 dollars extra.
If you are on a budget, it might be more prudent to wait until you reach Korea, and then use one of their devices through their network.
Another solution would be to purchase a cold device here in the states (a device not activated through a carrier - they are usually sold at a higher price because you are not activating it) and then request that the carrier unlock the device so that you can use it in Korea with a local service provider. Most cold devices run around $500 -- however you could ebay a 3G Treo device (Treo 750) and that would be perfect for you. You could then activate that device in Korea when you arrive.
You may want to contact AT&T directly and ask them for details -- They might have some additional information that will assist you.
Hope this helps!
