Is 5G available in South Korea for travelers using GotoeSIM?

Question

I'm planning a trip to Seoul and Busan next month and I'm wondering if 5G is available there. Will my GotoeSIM plan support 5G speeds, or will I be stuck on 4G? I mainly need fast data for maps and video calls.

Yes, South Korea has extensive 5G coverage, and our eSIM plans connect to local 5G networks where available. Just make sure your phone supports 5G and the specific bands used in Korea, like n78. You'll typically see 5G in major cities and tourist areas.

I was in Seoul last month and had 5G most of the time with my GotoeSIM. Speeds were great for streaming and maps. In smaller towns it sometimes dropped to 4G but still worked fine.

Just check your phone's 5G bands before you go. My older phone only had 4G and still worked perfectly for everything I needed. If you have a newer iPhone or Android, you should get 5G.

I used GotoeSIM in Busan and had 5G almost everywhere, even on the beach. Super fast for uploading photos. No issues at all.

Don't worry too much about 5G—even 4G in Korea is super fast. But yes, 5G is widely available. My GotoeSIM connected automatically.

To add: Korea's 5G coverage is among the best in the world, but it depends on your device's compatibility. Our eSIM works with most modern 5G phones. If you're unsure, check our device compatibility guide in the app.

I had 5G in Seoul and Incheon, but inside some buildings it switched to 4G. Still very usable. GotoeSIM was reliable overall.

Make sure you enable 5G in your phone settings. I forgot and was on 4G for a day until I switched it on. After that, blazing fast.
