KT Postpaid Early Termination Refund Example

📌 Refund Penalty Policy — Based on Official KT Guidelines

KT’s official discount return fee (“할인반환금”) structure for 12-month selective contracts:

Use Period (Months)	Refund Rate Applied to Discount Received
1–6 months	0% refund fee
7–9 months	20% of total discount received
10–12 months	130% of total discount received
Full 12 months	✅ No penalty

Please note that the amounts shown are only estimates; the exact prorated refund can be confirmed directly with KT Customer Service.

📝 Summary

Using the Welcome 5 Plan for 9 months → ~36,450 KRW refund (20% of 182,250 KRW discount)
Using the Simple 110G Plan for 9 months → ~40,950 KRW refund (20% of 204,750 KRW discount)
Using either plan for 10+ months and canceling early causes significant penalties (130%) — more than the total discount received.
Completing the full contract of 12 months results in 0 KRW penalty.

How to unlock your device (YouTube Video)

✅ How to Check If Your Device Supports eSIM

In Device Settings: Go to Settings. Look for options like Connections, SIM Card Manager, Mobile Networks, or Cellular. If you find Add eSIM or Add Cellular Plan, your device supports eSIM.
Using a Dial Code: Dial *#06# on your phone. If an EID (Embedded Identity Document) appears alongside your IMEI, your device is eSIM compatible.

Brand	Where in Settings	Typical Supported Models
iPhone	Settings → Cellular/Mobile Data → look for Add eSIM or Add Cellular Plan	iPhone XS/XR and newer (except China/HK/Macao versions)
Samsung	Settings → Connections → SIM Card Manager	Galaxy S20 and newer high-end models
Google Pixel	Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Download a SIM instead	Pixel 3 and later
Huawei	Settings → Mobile Networks → SIM Management → Add eSIM	Selected flagship models
Xiaomi	Dial `*#06#`, check for EID (eSIM support limited)	12T Pro, 13, 14 series

Device specs: Check your device’s official specs or support page for “eSIM.”
Carrier & Region: Some carriers and regions (China, Hong Kong, Macao) restrict eSIM even if hardware is compatible.
If there are no eSIM options or EID in settings, your device likely does not support eSIM.
