Will the same eSIM work if I take the KTX on to Seoul or Busan?

Yes. It's a single national South Korea plan, so the same eSIM stays connected on the KTX and once you arrive - Daegu sits midway between Seoul and Busan, both under two hours away, with no need to switch plans.

Which apps should I install for getting around Daegu?

Download Naver Map or KakaoMap for navigation, Kakao T for taxis, and Papago for translation. Google Maps won't give directions in Korea, so one of the local map apps is essential for Daegu's metro and bus network.

Good to know in Daegu

Daegu's three-line metro and city buses share the same Cashbee card, but the ride up Palgongsan relies on infrequent buses - keep Kakao T handy and data on to check the return times.

Two simple ways to buy

Daegu eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Daegu eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Daegu — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

Peace of mind

Your Daegu eSIM: data-only, zero bill shock.

Your Daegu eSIM handles the internet while you travel. Your home number stays exactly where it is — no surprise roaming charges in Daegu, no swapping your real SIM out.

Keep your number & WhatsApp

The eSIM is data-only and runs alongside your home SIM. Your number, iMessage and WhatsApp keep working exactly as they do at home.

No roaming bills, ever

Turn data roaming OFF on your home SIM and ON for the eSIM. You pay once, up front — no overage, no metered surprises, no bill waiting when you land home.

One thing worth knowing

Because it's data-only, the eSIM can't receive bank verification (OTP) text codes — those still go to your home number. Keep it reachable on Wi-Fi calling, or use app-based codes.
