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.

If he’s taking an unlocked phone, he should be fine with getting a local SIM card in Korea. The major providers like KT, SK Telecom, and LG U+ all have reasonable plans, and their WiFi coverage is incredible. I’ve known people stationed there who just relied on WiFi and messaging apps like WhatsApp or iMessage to stay in touch with family back home.
