Since you’ll need to search for various information, navigate using maps, and use SNS during your trip, internet access is an essential service when traveling abroad.
KT Communications' WiFi Router provides premium mobile internet service for travelers in Korea. The application is very simple — after arriving in Korea, you can visit the KT Roaming Center at the airport for easy access.
If you’re entering through Incheon Airport, there are several roaming centers available. For those entering via A–C Arrival Halls, use the KT Roaming Center next to Exit 6; for those entering via D Arrival Hall, use the one next to Exit 8–9; and for those entering via E–F Arrival Halls, use the one next to Exit 10–11.

At the counter, the staff will help you take a number ticket and will kindly explain the features and pricing of the product. After completing the rental procedure, you’ll receive a case, the WiFi Router, and a charging cable.
Advantages of the KT WiFi Router:
1. Can connect multiple devices simultaneously such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. (Although up to 5 devices can be connected, for optimal speed, it’s recommended to connect no more than 3.)
2. If you’re traveling with friends, you can share one device, making it cost-efficient.
3. KT Roaming Centers are located at all major Korean airports (Incheon Airport / Gimpo Airport / Gimhae Airport / Jeju Airport / Busan Port), making rental and return convenient. For KT Roaming Center locations: http://roaming.kt.com/rental/chn/custom/center.asp
4. No disconnections, with satisfying speed. Especially useful for uploading travel moments to Weibo, WeChat, etc. during your trip. Ideal for those who love sharing their daily experiences online. (The speed is also highly satisfactory.)

The service fee is 8,000 KRW per day, calculated based on the rental and return dates. For example, if you rent on August 1 and return on August 5, the fee would be 8,000 KRW * 5 days. If you return the device later than the time indicated in your online booking, you’ll only need to pay the additional fee upon returning the device.
Additionally, a device deposit is required, which must be paid using a credit card under your own name (with at least 3 months remaining before expiration). A helpful tip: book online in advance via the website (http://roaming.kt.com) to get a significant discount. If you’re planning a trip to Korea, be sure to apply early.
