Tourist eSIM eSIM Data Plans for South Korea

Tourist eSIM does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM plan for South Korea. The plans marketed as “Unlimited” actually offer a fixed amount of high‑speed data—such as 3 GB for a 1‑day plan or 2 GB per day for multi‑day plans—and once that limit is reached the speed is throttled (to 384 kbps, 1 Mbps, or 2 Mbps depending on the plan).

For travelers who need more data, Tourist eSIM offers fixed‑data alternatives. Examples include a 100 GB plan valid for 31 days at $67.98 USD or a 100 GB plan valid for 180 days at $82.95 USD for use in South Korea. These fixed plans provide a larger data allowance at a predictable cost, which can be more cost‑effective for heavy data consumers.

Tourist eSIM does not provide an eSIM with a local phone number or SMS capability for South Korea. Only data‑only eSIM plans are offered by this provider in that destination. Travelers can still use popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram and iMessage over the data connection to make calls and send messages.

Tourist eSIM offers 20 single‑country plans and 134 multi‑country plans that include South Korea. The plans span a price range from about $2.25 to $426.98 and data caps from 1 GB up to 100 GB over validity periods between one day and one year. Among the plans, 124 feature fixed data amounts while 30 apply a daily data cap, providing flexibility between users who prefer a set amount of data or those who want a daily limit.
