My son just graduated from AIT and is headed to Korea...he is going to Camp Carroll. His sponsor mentioned about taking an unlocked phone with him as he will get ripped off at the post exchange...my question for you is what have any of you who have been stationed there do for cell phones and service plans? His mom is stressed out that she wont be able to contact him....she is already upset that we haven't seen him since he left for basic due to friggin Covid. Now another year away. I told her that's how the Army works, and unfortunately, Covid has screw it up even worse. x

He can bring a phone from the States and it should work fine as long as it is unlocked and he can get a plan there. The plans are reasonable

Also WiFi is everywhere in Korea she probably won’t have an issue reaching him.

I believe I had KT, no difference really from LG. They come with WiFi hotspots that are insanely good you don’t really even need to buy WiFi separately. You will need an unlocked phone (so paid off). My wife and I had no issues texting/calling to and from my Korean numeric number. iPhone to iPhone in the states to korea will still be iMessage compatible.
