BEST POCKET WIFI TO TRAVEL IN SOUTH KOREA

A piece of travel gear I ALWAYS want to have with me is either a local SIM card or a pocket WIFI device! It just gives me a feeling of freedom, independence and peace of mind while out in a new, unknown Country.

A mobile hotspot is such an important tool for me. Getting and staying connected is crucial for me and even more when I am travelling.

As I am not familiar with local conditions when I arrive to a new destination I rely on my phone in order to find my way around, the best local restaurant, places I bookmarked on Google Maps, a taxi, an Airbnb, or simply check how’s the weather for the rest of the day.

It’s not a question of being an online addict or not.

I enjoy disconnecting from time to time, but I prefer to be in control of “if” and “when” this happens. There are plenty of less dramatic daily situations that become suddenly quite annoying when you find yourself disconnected involuntarily.

Forget about public WIFI hotspots

Public WIFI hotspots suck. Period. They are often slow and not reliable. While travelling in Asia I was surprised how annoying that way of connecting to the internet can be.

Getting connected in the first place is already a challenge. Sign-up and authentication processes are just cumbersome and everything but smooth.

And by the way, with a public WIFI hotspot I share the connection with other people which is a big security issue. This alone justifies the use of a personal mobile hotspot as the connection belongs to you only and only you decide who else may connect.

Also bear in mind that public hotspots are not always free. And you are stuck to that very location which is super annoying.

WIDEMOBILE

If you’re planning to travel to South Korea you might consider a router from Widemobile. 

Widemobile provides rental pocket WiFi:

• 1GB per day (you can still use more data but at a slower speed, below 400 Kbps. It resets at midnight Korean time)
• It can be connected with up to 5 devices at the same time
• The device is fully charged when you pick it up
• You can pick up the device at Incheon airport, Gimpo airport, Cheong Ju airport, Gimhae airport, Busan port or main office in Seoul

How to rent and use a Pocket Wifi?

It’s actually fairly simple to rent a pocket WiFi router for your trip to South Korea. All you need to do is to reserve it online by mentioning the rental period, your preferred pick-up location and your details. 

Once you’ve got the router you just switch it on, connect to it from your devices and that’s it, you have the internet at your disposal. Just before you leave South Korea you can return the router at any airport at Widemobile return point.

The Pocket WiFi battery lasts around 8 hours for continuous usage. I usually turned it on when going out from my accommodation and keep it on until I was back in the evening. Never had a flat battery.

And if you want to save some money…
