## Good to know

### Install before you fly

Install it at home on Wi-Fi. It stays off until you switch it on for data at your destination.

### Keep your own SIM

Your usual SIM stays in for calls and texts. Set the Veela eSIM as your line for mobile data.

### Help when you're there

The assistant answers in your language at any hour, and a person picks up anything it can't fix.

## Tips for South Korea

- Install Naver Map or KakaoMap before you go: in Korea they give walking and subway directions more reliably than Google Maps.
- Papago translates menus and signs through the camera, but live camera translation uses data quickly. For more than five days, 10 GB is a safer pick.
- On a group tour you'll still want your own data for free time in Myeongdong or Hongdae, when maps and messages matter most.

## South Korea eSIM questions

**Does it work on Jeju Island?**

Yes, the plan covers all of South Korea, including Jeju and Busan.
**Do I get a Korean phone number?**

No, the eSIM is data only. Use KakaoTalk, WhatsApp or iMessage for calls and messages. Some Korean apps ask for a local number to sign up; your home number usually works for verification.
**When does the plan start?**

When the eSIM first connects to a network in South Korea. Installing it at home doesn't start the clock.
**Is my phone compatible?**

Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number and your phone is unlocked, it works. See the [compatibility checker](https://veela.io/compatibility/) for common models.
**Can I top up?**

Yes. From your account, add data to the same eSIM without reinstalling it.
