Hello, all! I wanted to share my experience with Trazy, as I ordered a SIM card through them for two separate trips to South Korea. Having a SIM card with unlimited data allowed for effective public transportation and street navigation, as well as staying connected while out and about. Please note that this product review for the Trazy’s KT SIM Card is not sponsored and is limited to my experiences.
About Trazy
Trazy is a “one stop travel booking site where you can easily find the latest, trendiest, newest things to do in Korea at the best price.” They make it easy for travelers to find fun and authentic experiences online in throughout South Korea in cities like Seoul, Busan, Jeju. They have also started to expand to include information for Thailand and Vietnam. I found them through a quick Google search when researching SIM options in South Korea.
SIM Card Process
The process was relatively straightforward and hassle free. Here are the basic steps to get your SIM card if you’re flying into Incheon International Airport (ICN):
- Access the Trazy website.
- Read through the SIM card options and select.
- Place the order by including all requested information and pay.
- Locate the KT booth in the arrival terminal when you land at ICN (or any other airport where you can pick-up your SIM card).
- Show staff your passport and email to collect your SIM.
- Install your SIM card. Make sure it works before leaving!
- Use your SIM card for the desired number of days.
Pros of the Trazy SIM Card
Easy: SIM cards can be purchased in advance online with a credit card.
Inexpensive: I paid ~$20 USD for my 5-day 4G SIM with unlimited data.
Convenient: SIM cards can be picked-up anytime at Incheon. There are different hours and locations for each airport, so be sure to check your arrival time before ordering to ensure you can pick it up! Also, you can tether to other devices using this SIM card, so you can your friend(s) can share one SIM if you’re short on money.
Reliable: KT is one of the top carriers in South Korea and provides fast, reliable service throughout Seoul.
Cons of Trazy SIM Card
Purchase limitation: You can only purchase one SIM card per person.
Unlocked phone: As in most countries, your phone must be unlocked in order for the SIM card to work. Check with your provider before traveling to ensure your phone is unlocked and can accept a different/ temporary SIM card.
Processing time: Orders must be placed 24 hours or more if you prefer to order online ahead of time. SIM cards can also be purchased at the airport if you do not wish to order beforehand.
Travel Tips
- It is easier to purchase a SIM card in the airport compared to in the city. I recommend purchasing from KT or other providers before leaving the airport.
- Plan accordingly for pick-up time and take into consideration customs and immigration procedures/ wait times.
As a woman who frequently travels, having a phone with data relieves some travel anxiety and makes me feel safer. I recommend using Trazy if you’re visiting South Korea because their SIM service is easy, cheap, and convenient! For more detailed information, visit this webpage.
