What is it?
Budget mobile (알뜰폰) refers to the plans of operators that lease mobile networks to provide mobile phone service. You should compare plans, network, data, voice/text, promotion period, contract terms/early termination fees, USIM/eSIM, and customer center conditions on MVNO Hub (알뜰폰허브) and each operator's official site.
What to check when comparing
- Network used: Confirm whether it is the SKT network, KT network, or LG U+ network.
- Price: Break down the first month / promotion period / monthly fee after the promotion ends.
- Data: Check the basic allowance, speed after it runs out, and whether tethering/sharing is possible.
- Voice/text: Check the basic allowance, premium calls, and international call conditions.
- Sign-up method: Check the conditions for online application, USIM delivery, convenience store USIM, number porting, and new sign-up.
- Identity verification: Separately confirm whether PASS/mobile identity verification actually works on services that require it after sign-up.
- Customer support: Check the procedures for loss, name (ownership) change, cancellation, number porting, overseas roaming, and eSIM reissuance.
