Roaming in South Korea

Anonymous
Not applicable

Does anyone know if I will be able to receive and make voice calls on my iPhone 5C in South Korea? There does not seem to be anything on the O2 site about a roaming agreement with a South Korean Network Operator. Not concerned about data roaming as will have WIFI access a lot of the time, but it is important that we can receive calls from the UK.

Only if you are on contract and it’s £1.25 per min to receive calls.
No coverage for PAYG though I’m afraid.

That won’t help when receiving calls abroad though?

Somebody obviously didn’t read the post correctly. They want to receive calls not make them
