Above is KT’s website (in ENGLISH), Korea’s largest cell phone provider. Use the link above and have a look under the ‘Prepaid Rate Plans’ section. Basically it’s a prepaid SIM card plan, and you can choose the amount of credit to be loaded to your phone starting from 3,000KRW to maximum 50,000KRW. (They even let you talk for 100 minutes FREE if the person you’re calling is using KT) AND most importantly… there are NO ENROLMMENT FEES, NO CANCELLATION FEES AND NO MANDATORY REGISTRATION!! Oooh yes. Saves you so much hassle. 
Visit your nearest KT store, (There are literally hundreds of them on the streets…Even if you’re not in Seoul…you’ll find it!) and ask for ‘KT SIMple SIM card’. Guys there will set up your phone in less than 5 minutes. Plus, the card is free if you top up more than 10,000KRW for the first time. 
Hopefully this helps you guys settling down in Korea. Enjoy your stay!!
