I am taking a vacation from Hong Kong to korea, can I continue to use iphone & ipad in Busan as in roaming ? why people keep saying we need to rent mobile phone in Korea because of different GSM standard? Can someone help?
iPad 2, iOS 4.3
Much of Korea uses the CDMA format which is incompatible with GSM.
As long as your cellular service provider has cellular partners in South Korea you can roam on their networks, but that can be very expensive. If you are wealthy, it should not be a problem.
For the iPad, you can usually use it on wi-fi for much less than data roaming, even if you have to pay for wi-fi in a hotel.
Guess I've need the roaming for iphone, at least for emergency use, hopefully there is wifi free spot somewhere so the iPad can be of some use. Tks.
