Airalo, Holafly or vigxo for South Korea? Same-GB prices, dated

Disclosure and method

This page is published by vigxo, one of the providers compared. Listed USD price for the same data and validity on each provider's public page, before promo codes, credits or taxes.

Each row shows the listed USD price for exactly the same GB and the same 30-day validity. Promo codes, account credits and taxes are not included, and a row older than 30 days hides itself until it is checked again. Providers we did not check on the day are simply not in the table. Prices checked on 14 Oct 2026 for Airalo, Holafly and Ubigi. Saily rows keep the earlier date shown on each row. A 3 GB plan for 30 days is left out: Airalo and Ubigi did not list that size.

South Korea: 5, 10 and 20 GB for 30 days

Read across a size to compare providers, or down the vigxo rows to see how the price per GB changes as the plan grows. The highlighted row is the plan this page links to.

Holafly: a different product type

Holafly prices Korea by the number of days rather than by GB. Its listed prices and its own published terms are below, quoted as they appear on its pages.

Networks listed for South Korea

vigxo's South Korea page lists SKTelecom and LG Uplus. The eSIM uses the networks listed on the page after you turn on data roaming for the eSIM line, so you do not pick a network yourself.

Listed is not the same as promised at every location: coverage depends on where you are. This page does not describe other providers' Korean networks, because we only repeat what we can source.

What differs besides price

• vigxo is bought through a web checkout: no app, and no App Store 30% cut built into the price.
• The install link arrives by email after payment, with a QR code as a fallback; 1-tap install works on iOS 17.4+ and Android 10+.
• Validity starts at the first connection in South Korea, not at purchase.
• Hotspot is included, and you keep your home number and WhatsApp because the plan is data-only.
• Full refund on any plan you haven't installed, up to 30 days from purchase.

From the other providers' own pages:

• Saily's South Korea page says: "All plans have a 180-day activation period." Source (checked September 29, 2026)

How much data for Korea

Typical-use estimate (maps, messaging, social, some video), about 0.5–0.8 GB a day. Not a vigxo promise; your use will vary.

Video calls home and a laptop on hotspot are what move you into the heavier column. The data calculator turns your own habits into a size.

Before you buy

• Your phone supports eSIM: iPhone XR, XS and newer, iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation), Galaxy S20 and newer, Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip, Pixel 3 and newer.
• Your phone is carrier-unlocked. That is required for any travel eSIM.
• For 1-tap install you need iOS 17.4+ or Android 10+. On older versions you scan the QR code from the same email instead.

Not sure about your model? The device check takes a minute. If the plan turns out not to work on your phone, you get a full refund on any plan you haven't installed, up to 30 days from purchase.
