IPhone for South Korea

Are there any iPhones that work in South Korea. I've been researching the requirements and it looks like a WCDMA 2100 Mhz phone is the only one that will work. The specs on the iPhones mention 2100, but not WCDMA. Is it the same? Or do I need to look for a different brand?

The iPhone supports UMTS/HSDPA (850, 1900, 2100 MHz)

W-CDMA is UMTS

Until recently, Korea required all cellphone use Korean designed software, which ruled out the iPhone, but that changed recently.

Section code required for South Korea - Asset Retirement, Transfer

Hello,
We have configure the Korea client to have one Business place and section code. However, No extended WHT is activated.
Problem encountered 'Enter section code' during the ABAON, ABAVN and ABUMN. We have configure the business in Evaluation group and the asset master is updated with the respective value.
I have been searching through the forum and SAP notes and get no clues. I understand some of peer's for South Korea Asset configuration do not require the business placess configred in the Evaluation group and it still works.
I have experience the Thailand, it didn't create this problem for me, with WHT activated.
May i know is this a bug of SAP?
Thank you so much in advance.

What is the error message number? Check if you can find any notes suggested by SAP.

I will be moving to South Korea for 2 years and would like to know what issues I may run into in South Korea in regards to support and connectivity of a MacBook. I am leaving the iBook with my husband and have purchased an iMac for my parents all with the thinking that I would purchase a new MacBook and use it to video chat with my husband, parents and friends back in the States.

Plant Abroad functionality for South Korea with Company Code in India

Hi,
I need help on SD functionality set up with regards to Plants abroad functionality for the Parent company in India and a manufacturing Plant in South Korea.
Has anyone work on such scenarios with plant abroad in South Korea. If yes, please help with the SD setup especially CIN and taxation requirements from SD side w.r.t. a South Korean Plant.
Thanks a ton in advance.

Hello Sameer,
I am working for Plants Abroad Funtionality for one Company Code with several Plants across Countries in Europe. Here there is a Standard feature given by SAP for INTRASTAT (Eupore) reporting. Also in Europe we can transfer stock from say plant in Germany to another PLant in France with charging any Tax.
But in your case you have Indian Company Code having Plant in South Korea... I don't know whether it is supported in SAP or not...
Also legally I wonder whether Indian Companies can own Plant in South Korea?
Infact most probably in your case there will be a seperate Company Code for Korean Plant... If that is the case then you don't require Plants Functionality.
Can you please further details of your Business Requirements?
Thanks,

Iphones in South Korea

I'm using Iphone5s. this is my third iphone.
It is very expensive in South Korea and the service is never good.
I have lost 5s so byoutght again 5 months ago.
Now I dropped the phone and the screen has been smashed.
I want to change only the screen kit, but can't buy in Korea.
To get the referbished is too expensive.
It is not fair.

Ignoring the customization of Business Place & Section Code for South Korea

Hi All,
We are in the process of upgrading from R/34.0B to ECC6.0.
with reference to withholding tax customization, as per ECC6.0 we have to maintain business places & section codes to post any FI document, where every time we have to enter Business Place for posting.
But our requirement is to ignore the customization and want to go ahead with posting FI document without inputting business place or section code is there any way to by-pass this customization?
Thanx in Advance

Kumar

This is a funtional question..

Moving to South Korea; Will iPhone 3GS work?

From what I've gathered in a few posts it sounds like it's hit or miss on whether or not you can transfer the iPhone between countries.
I've had the 3GS for a little over a year now (so still under the 2yr contract) and will be moving to South Korea within a couple months. Is it possible to use my phone there as I would in the states? If I have to stay with AT&T is my only option to pay for the international plans? Is it possible to end my contract with AT&T and use the 3GS with a Korean carrier? I'm looking for legal options to continue using my phone in Korea as I'll be there for a year.
Thanks for your insight -Andrew

All US sold iPhone's are locked to AT&T.
AT&T will NOT unlock the iPhone, no matter what the reason.
Here is a list of carriers that offer the iPhone in various countries around the world. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937
If you want to use the iPhone in South Korea, sell your US iPhone before you leave and buy one in South Korea when you get there. The International roaming plan is extremely expensive.
Keep in mind that the warranty for the iPhone is ONLY valid for the country in which it was originally sold by Apple (or their authorized reseller).

Will an iphone bought in Korea work in America?

I bought my iphone in South Korea and used it with Korea's Show cell phone company. Since I no longer live their I have brought my iphone back with me to America. Will the iphone work with At&t?

No the iphone bought in South Korea is locked to KTF "Show" and can not be unlocked.
Vice Versa
iphone bought in U.S.A can't be unlocked to be used with KTF in Korea. However, I have talked to my uncle, and he told me that there is a way that you can, but they will have to check the frequency and that they can do it and have it work both ways. However, they will have to charge you for them to do it.

Traveling to South Korea

I'm planning to travel to South Korea. I like to make/receive calls from/to South Korea and US. In this case, what is the best option I can combine to purchase Skype products?I'll have my Sprint HTC Evo 4G brought to South Korea with unlimited data plan. What I was thinking after reading various skype plan options,
Buy Online number for South Korea.Buy monthly subscription for both US and South Korea for both mobile and landlines.
In this senario, the following is my questions.
1. I can't buy Online Number for South Korea with my US credit card. How can I buy O.N. for South Korea? I'm a South Korea citizen living in NYC.
2. With this online number, Is all incoming calls are free for myself no matter where the calls originates from (US or South Korea)?
3. With Monthly subscription(I think this is for outgoing call subscription only, not incoming call), do I get unlimited outgoing calls or do I still need to pay for minutes I use?

Gald to see that you have done research on your own before posting
1. Why can't you purchase ON with US credit card? I can see your last payment was not finished, but did you get any errors?
2. Yes, calls to your Online Number in Skype are free for you. In Skype you don't pay for incoming calls.
3. For US we have for example Unlimited US subscription, which covers landline and mobiles both.
For South Korea we don't have unlimited subscription that would cover mobiles. Maximum is 400min per month(landlines and mobile). Unlimited South Korea covers only landlines.
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/prices/pay-monthly#KR
With unlimited subscription you can make up to 10 000 minutes per month and you don't pay extra for minutes.
Please check fair usage policy applies to all subscriptions

I buy my Iphone at Malaysia, can i use it in South Korea?

I buy my Iphone at Malaysia, can i use it in South Korea?
If can how? if i sign v their telecommunication service, their sim card is same like Malaysia ?

If you use a credit card from a financial institution in the US,
with a verified billing address in the US, and ship the order to
the US. Warranty will be valid only in the US and LTE will not
work in EU. The low prices you see for some iPhones are
because the iPhone requires a 2 year contract with a wireless
carrier in the US. Prices for unlocked (useable with any carrier)
iPhone 5 are $649 for 16 GB, $747 for 32 GB, and $849 for 64 GB
+ applicable taxes which will vary with shipping destination within
the US. Still interested?

Now I am South Korea, If I buy Apple Iphone 4S it will work in INDIA

Hello
Now I am South Korea, If I buy Apple Iphone 4S it will work in INDIA?

Also note that warranty and support is only valid in the original country of purchase. So if you buy a phone in South Korea you will need to ship the phone to someone you know in South Korea to be taken in for evaluation. Apple do not accept or ship outside of the original country. The shipping will be at your expense.

Hi, I have purchased an iPhone 4 in South Korea and I want to use it in India. Is there any way to unlock this in South Korea?

Hi, I have purchased an iPhone 4 in South Korea and I want to use it in India. Is there any way to unlock this in South Korea?

yes it is very easy...
first of all your phone have to be all paided off.
if your phone is all paid off you can call your carrier (have someone who speaks korean to call) tell them that your moving/visiting your country and you would like your phone to be unlocked. somehow they do this over the phone and it takes three - four days for them to do this.
its real easy.
if your phone is not paid off you can just tell them that your visiting your country and you would like to use your phone there.

When can I use an iphone 5s in South Korea??

Hi there,
I have used many kinds of Apple products for last 5 years such as iphone 3g, 4, 4s, macbook pro, etc in Australia.
however, after I graduated for a uni in AU, I have come back to my country, South Korea. so, I tried to get an iPhone 5s but, it is impossible now in my country.
I would like to know when I can get an iphone 5s in Korea. I checked the price unlocked version of iphone 5s in many other countries such as Hongkong, AU, US, but too expensive to get one via the websites.
SO, anyone can let me know when I can have one?
Thanks,
Jin

No users here will know when Apple will release the iPhone 5s to other countries.
The recent Apple keynote mentioned in Dec that some other countries will follow, but no country specific.
Watch the keynote video for yourself:
