POVNOMAD Unlimited Smart for South Korea costs \u20ac5.90 for 3 days and \u20ac29.90 for 30 days. Airalo’s unlimited plan costs \u20ac11.00 and \u20ac61.50, Holafly \u20ac11.90 and \u20ac68.90. Smart gives you 1 GB at full speed each day, then a steady 1 Mbit\/s. Unlimited XL raises the daily allowance to 3 GB from \u20ac7.90.<\/p>\n

All prices as of 5 September 2026, collected from povnomad.com, airalo.com and esim.holafly.com (South Korea product pages, EUR). “\u2014” means Airalo and Holafly list no price for 21 days. Fair use: POVNOMAD states both figures on the product page, the daily high-speed allowance (1 GB on Smart, 3 GB on XL) and the speed after that (a steady 1 Mbit\/s). Airalo states its threshold of 3 GB per day and the drop to 1 Mbps on the South Korea product page itself, and caps full speed there at 20 Mbps. Holafly names neither a threshold nor a speed for South Korea. Prices are subject to change.<\/small><\/p>\n

Unlimited XL works with the same daily threshold as Airalo, 3 GB at full speed, and costs less at every duration: \u20ac7.90 against \u20ac11.00 at 3 days, \u20ac31.90 against \u20ac43.50 at 15 days, \u20ac60.90 against \u20ac61.50 at 30 days.<\/p>\n

One note on buying: purchases in the POVNOMAD app<\/a> earn up to 10 percent of the amount paid as credits, redeemable on your next order. The web shop does not award credits. The prices in the table stay the same, the credits lower the bill on your next trip.<\/p>\n

The network difference<\/h2>\n

Three operators run nationwide networks in South Korea: SK Telecom, KT and LG U+. The POVNOMAD eSIM for South Korea<\/a> runs on a local 4G\/5G network, and the product page names SK Telecom and LG U+ as examples. Airalo’s South Korea product page reads: “Operates on the SK network in South Korea.” Holafly names “SK Telecom, LGU+” (retrieved 5 September 2026). None of the three names KT.<\/p>\n

South Korea’s ICT ministry MSIT reports that the three operators have built out their 5G networks across the country. For maps, translation and messengers around Seoul, Busan and Jeju, the network choice makes little difference. No provider promises a signal at a named spot.<\/p>\n

Each provider defines “unlimited” its own way. POVNOMAD puts a number on both halves of the rule, 1 GB at full speed per day on Unlimited Smart and a steady 1 Mbit\/s after that, with 3 GB on Unlimited XL. Airalo prints the rule for South Korea on the product page: “Full speed for the first 3 GB of data each day (up to 20 Mbps) \u2014 after that, lower speed (1 Mbps \u2026)”. So full speed there stops at 20 Mbps. POVNOMAD names no such ceiling for South Korea. Holafly gives neither a threshold nor a speed for South Korea.<\/p>\n

Next to the duration, the product page carries a second choice, the IP variant. Unlimited Smart and Unlimited XL run through the Singapore IP. Data packages come with the standard IP or with the Singapore IP for \u20ac0.60 to \u20ac2 more. The page makes no promises about individual services.<\/p>\n

Map apps: Naver and Kakao instead of Google Maps<\/h2>\n

Google Maps shows places in South Korea, yet it will not calculate a door-to-door route. Korean mapping law bars the export of detailed geodata abroad. Travellers report installing Naver Map or Kakao Map instead, both with an English interface. Both pull maps and departure times from the network as you go, so without a data connection you stand at the subway exit with no directions.<\/p>\n

Data packages instead of unlimited<\/h2>\n

Plenty of Korea trips work without unlimited data. Sit on the guesthouse Wi-Fi in the evening, and a fixed package costs you less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The daily rate on Unlimited Smart does not drop with every longer tier. Ten days cost \u20ac11.90, one euro more than seven days, or \u20ac1.19 a day. Fifteen days cost \u20ac18.90, or \u20ac1.26 a day, more than the tier below. Three weeks cost \u20ac23.90 and a full month \u20ac29.90, under a euro a day. The unlimited plans overview<\/a> explains the tiers.<\/p>\n

Which plan for which trip<\/h2>\n

Five to seven days in Seoul fit Unlimited Smart, \u20ac7.90 for 5 days or \u20ac10.90 for 7 days. Airalo charges \u20ac26.00 for 7 days, Holafly \u20ac25.50. You walk through Myeongdong with Naver Map open, call a taxi through Kakao T, point a translation app at the menu and send voice notes at night. A day like that stays under 1 GB, so you are online the whole time without paying for 3 GB that sit unused. Upload video daily or stream on the subway and you do use Airalo’s 3 GB.<\/p>\n

A loop through Seoul, Busan and Jeju often runs 10 to 15 days. Ten days of Unlimited Smart cost \u20ac11.90, where Airalo charges \u20ac31.00. If you stream on the move or run a hotspot for a laptop, Unlimited XL gives you 3 GB a day at \u20ac31.90 for 15 days against Airalo’s \u20ac43.50. On the KTX to Busan navigation keeps running apart from a short drop in the tunnels, and once the high-speed allowance is gone, maps and messengers carry on at 1 Mbit\/s. For a DMZ day trip, tour operators ask for your passport according to travel reports.<\/p>\n

Many travellers pair South Korea with a stop in Japan, and one profile does not cover both countries. Japan has its own Japan eSIM<\/a> with Unlimited Smart from \u20ac5.90, and provider prices for it sit in the Japan eSIM comparison<\/a>. A data-only eSIM you buy online, while a Korean phone number needs your passport at a counter in the country.<\/p>\n

Roaming from your home contract<\/h2>\n

South Korea sits outside EU roaming, so a European domestic allowance does not apply and your operator charges a separate add-on. Most sell a monthly world package with a few gigabytes, or day and week passes capped at a few hundred megabytes. Compare that against \u20ac10.90 for seven days of Unlimited Smart or \u20ac15.90 for 20 GB over 30 days.<\/p>\n

Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n
\n

Is unlimited eSIM data for South Korea really unlimited?<\/h3>\n

No, all three providers throttle. POVNOMAD states 1 GB of high-speed data per day on Unlimited Smart and 3 GB on Unlimited XL, then a steady 1 Mbit\/s. Airalo states 3 GB per day on its South Korea product page, then 1 Mbps, and caps full speed at 20 Mbps. Holafly names no threshold. As of 5 September 2026.<\/p>\n

What does an unlimited eSIM for South Korea cost?<\/h3>\n

POVNOMAD Unlimited Smart costs \u20ac5.90 for 3 days, \u20ac10.90 for 7 days, \u20ac18.90 for 15 days and \u20ac29.90 for 30 days. Unlimited XL with 3 GB a day runs from \u20ac7.90 to \u20ac60.90. Airalo charges \u20ac11.00 to \u20ac61.50 for 3 to 30 days, Holafly \u20ac11.90 to \u20ac68.90. As of 5 September 2026.<\/p>\n

Which network does the South Korea eSIM use: SK Telecom, KT or LG U+?<\/h3>\n

Three operators run nationwide networks in South Korea. The POVNOMAD eSIM runs on a local 4G\/5G network, and the product page names SK Telecom and LG U+ as examples. Airalo writes “Operates on the SK network in South Korea”, Holafly names “SK Telecom, LGU+”. None names KT. As of 5 September 2026.<\/p>\n

Does Google Maps work in South Korea, or do I need Naver Map?<\/h3>\n

Google Maps shows places in South Korea but will not calculate a door-to-door route, because Korean mapping law bars the export of detailed geodata abroad. Travellers report using Naver Map or Kakao Map instead, both with an English interface. Both work with any data eSIM.<\/p>\n

Do I need a Korean phone number or my passport?<\/h3>\n

A data-only eSIM you buy online, and the QR code arrives by email, so you install the profile before you leave home. A Korean phone number needs your passport at a counter in the country. The POVNOMAD eSIM carries data without a Korean number, and calls run through WhatsApp or FaceTime.<\/p>\n

Can I share the connection with a laptop or a second phone?<\/h3>\n

Yes, hotspot comes with every POVNOMAD eSIM for South Korea, and shared data counts against the same daily allowance. Holafly limits sharing to 1 GB per day on its South Korea plans. Airalo makes no hotspot statement on its South Korea product page. As of 5 September 2026.<\/p>\n

Can I use one eSIM for South Korea and Japan?<\/h3>\n

The South Korea profile covers South Korea. For Japan, POVNOMAD sells a separate Japan eSIM with Unlimited Smart from \u20ac5.90. Keep both profiles on the phone and switch after you land. Buy both before departure, and each one starts with your first connection in that country. As of 5 September 2026.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
