With the introduction of the Blacklist Rule on May 1st, 2011, customers can buy either unlocked phones distributed by the manufacturers or phones from overseas and subscribe for the service carrier they want.

 

Following the introduction of ‘SIMple Charge’ which is tagged with no requirement of base plan or subscription fee and ‘SIMple Saving’ which requires no contract, KT introduces ‘SIMple Discount’ on May 31st, 2011, by which customers who purchased unlocked phones can enjoy the same price discounts that are offered to the existing subscribers. What you will see below is a detailed introduction of ‘olleh SIMple’ in which customers can subscribe for KT service plan separately with their unlocked phones regardless of their brands. ^^

 

What is the ‘Device Self-purchasing Rule’?

The rule allows the unregistered phones to a service carrier to access network and place a call.

 

What gives?

With a KT USIM, you can buy a service plan at KT with one of the unlocked phones distributed by domestic manufacturers or with other phones you purchased from overseas.

 

Let’s find out more.

“I have my phone sleeping in the closet.” “My plan at another service carrier has just expired--now I miss the price discount.” “My uncle bought me a new phone but I haven’t yet subscribed to any plan.”

 

Yes, you can use your phone after subscribing to a service plan in KT.

KT has prepared three new SIMple service plans for the customers who wish to use their own phones after buying a USIM.

                                                                                           

With all but USIM, using your device has never been SIMpler —olleh SIMple!

 

For any type of device you have, you can subscribe to the following service plans just with USIM.

 

[SIMple Charge]

Just as the transportation card, you can recharge desired amount of money with the SIMple Charge plan. No subscription fee, base plan or contract is required, and you can talk with other olleh mobile users as long as the charged amount allows.

 

[SIMple Saving]

It is a service in which 20 % of the monthly paid amount is saved as points, so that you can use them when you buy a new phone.

 

[SIMple Discount]

If you buy one year or two year contract, you will get a partial discount of your monthly bill. Subscription is available beginning from May 31st, 2011.
