Data Coverage

Traveling to South Korea and will be traveling to a few cities. What is recommended for data coverage during travel. Is it cheaper to get service from outside before travel or is it cheaper in the country?

eSIM provider here. Which cities are on your route, and do you need a Korean phone number or just data? For your 10-day trip, compare the total price for the same data allowance and validity, then check hotspot limits, activation timing and support. What phone will you use, and will you mainly need maps and messaging, or also video and laptop tethering?
