Teacher SIM Korea: Best SIM Card for English Teachers Korea

Teacher SIM Korea just got easier. With the Korvia Teacher Welcome Package from Kimchi Mobile × KT, new English teachers land in Korea already connected.

A New Era for Teachers Arriving in Korea

For newly arriving English teachers, securing reliable and affordable mobile service in Korea can be surprisingly stressful. Kimchi Mobile, in partnership with KT, is transforming that experience with the Korvia Teacher Welcome Package—a service designed specifically for Korvia teachers to enjoy the same benefits as locals, minus the usual hurdles. From smooth onboarding to real cost savings, this package is crafted to meet the actual needs of foreign teachers.

What Makes the Korvia Teacher Welcome Package Special?

From a Korvia teacher’s perspective, here’s what sets this package apart:

• Instant Mobile Access
  Land in Korea and get connected right away. The prepaid eSIM includes 3GB of 4G/5G data, 200 minutes, and 200 SMS, valid for up to 60 days—all at an incredibly competitive rate.
• Effortless Transition to Postpaid
  Once you receive your Residence Card (formerly ARC), you can switch to a KT postpaid plan with 25GB or 110GB data options and up to 34% off standard pricing—unlocking exclusive discounts that go beyond what’s typically available even to Korean nationals.
• No Language Barriers, No Paperwork Headaches
  Skip the usual maze of translations, forms, and multi-step verifications. This is a plug-and-play experience built for ease.
• Flexible Options
  Choose from three tiers—Budget, Basic, and (coming soon) Premium. Budget and Basic are already live, delivering generous data and voice at exclusive teacher-only rates, while Premium will unlock even larger data buckets and added perks once it launches this summer. Whether you stick with prepaid or upgrade later, you stay connected from day one—no store visits, no paperwork delays, just seamless service.
• Full-Service Teacher Support
  Kimchi Mobile’s role ends after your phone is activated and your Residence Card upload is verified—but KT takes over with true end-to-end care:
