QUOTE(crusher @ May 30 2018, 01:49 PM) Anyone use TravelRecommend before? I travelling to Jeju & trying to get an egg wifi. Its stated unlimited data in website but it did not say on which network & any tnc on unlimited. For instance, first 500mb on 4g, eventually change to 3g. Anyone have this experience before? As their cs also dunno please refer to my post above, just FYI. i know it's cheap, especially for their current free 2 days promo, but the hassle is totally not worth it.

Too late bro. I have already placed my order and make my payment. May I ask, which part of Korea you will be in?

[attachmentid=9866941] [attachmentid=9866942] Just wondering, is this a Malaysian company/Korean company? Never seen that on the list of pocket wifi I got. I've rented Olleh from Incheon airport (I think). I was actually tempted to use my UK sim but my card doesn't cover Korea. This post has been edited by digitalz: Jun 19 2018, 06:59 PM

Ahhh. Alright. No wonder I've never heard about it before. I've always travelled around with my sim card since my sim allows me to use roaming/data for free in a lot of countries. Thanks!

Do take note though, they use spam/pork for some types.

Hi guys, just wondering have anyone went for a week trip to Jeju?
Planned to go with my wife on early November. We went to Jeju & Seoul 4 years back but it was quite hectic so we didn't explore much of Jeju, we did cover most of the eastern side of the island only. Both of us fell in love with Jeju and decided to go again and focus only on Jeju island alone.
I planned to go for a slow & easy trip perhaps cycling along some of the scenic olle trails & learn about the traditional korean cultures there.. Has anyone have itinerary that they could share?
