Wie funktioniert eine eSim in Korea?
Hi, ich fliege nach Korea und bin mir unsicher, ob ich mir eine eSim kaufen soll oder ob ich mir einen Datenpass bei Telekom (meinem Anbieter) holen soll. Eine eSim ist günstiger doch ich verstehe nicht ganz, wie diese funktioniert.
Ich bekomme ja dann eine koreanische Nummer, aber was passiert mit meiner alten? Kann ich ganz normal mit meiner alten Nummer z.B. per Whatsapp schreiben?
Was lohnt sich mehr? Wenn ich mir eine eSim hole, auf was muss ich achten?
Danke im voraus.
With an eSim you keep your German number for calls, SMS and so on. You don’t have to remove your German sim card from your phone. You then use the eSim for the mobile Internet.
Depending on the country there are different providers. Holafly is expensive as there are significantly better offers. Here is a page that shows you all the different options for the different eSim and countries; in your case, South Korea: https://esimdb.com/south-korea
Hi, thanks for the info. Would that be the same for a normal Sim?
No, at a normal sim you are no longer reachable under your normal German number.
do I have to mute my German sim somehow or something? not that I have when I come back a fat bill though I had a Korean esim
With iPhone you can control it separately. So, for example, for mobile data, only the esim is used and for phone calls the normal (because I usually go abroad as well as via WhatsApp then phone).
All right, thanks 🙏🏻
Yes, I do. You have to adjust accordingly.
Oh, not even if it’s a dual Sim?
