This time, I prepared an information post to tell you how to open a self-sufficient phone. Cell phone self-sufficiency means a system that leaves the purchase of SIM chips and terminals to individual discretion. There must be a lot of people who have become interested in it because it is processed so that it can be used right away by inserting a SIM.
The reason why more and more people are looking for self-sufficient phones is that the price goes up every time a new model is released, and especially when you try to buy a smartphone through a mobile carrier, the price is so high. Even if you can’t make a decision and receive the public notice subsidy, you will have to hesitate because you have to choose an expensive rate plan. 자급제폰 개통방법

Since you are a new customer who wants to sign up with SK Telecom, you can choose between opening a USIM with a 5G plan or opening a USIM with an LTE plan.
You can check the information on the site and select the rate plan you want. For those who want to use a low-priced phone, enter ‘affordable phone plan’ in the Internet search box to find it, compare the search results, and then make a decision. You should do it.
You will be able to proceed by entering your identity verification, co-certificate, and credit card information as necessary information when signing up, and the SIM fee is 7,700 won, which will be included in the next month’s fee.
The SIM you applied for will be delivered if you wait for 1-2 days. After installing the SIM, you will need to check if it is recognized, and if it is not opened, you will need to contact the SKT customer center and ask.
To apply for number portability, you need to select the telecommunications company to use. At this time, prepare one of these three: a mobile phone used by another telecommunications company, a bankbook/card that automatically pays mobile phone bills, and a receipt showing the payment of mobile phone bills, and prepare an SKT branch or agency. You can visit and submit the number portability subscription application form.
It will be necessary to note that number portability cannot be performed if the legal representative can apply and the branch/agency of the existing service cancels it in advance. In the case of KT service, it is automatically canceled, but the remaining installments of the operator’s terminal are paid in full before the change. It is known that you have to choose installment or continue installment and use SK Telecom’s exclusive terminal.
The cost is 800 won for number portability, the HOT BILL fee of the operator before the change (KT or LG U+), and the new subscription fee. .
Afterwards, you will need to apply for and receive a USIM card and install it on your self-sufficient phone, and if it is recognized as normal, you will be able to open it and use it conveniently. (Delivery may take 1-2 days)
To change the device, go to the site of the telecommunication company you used, log in, click my T in the upper right corner, and select Change> [Change device].
You can choose a convenient method among SK Telecom SMS or co-certificate authentication (general purpose/financial transaction certificate) for identity authentication, and enter the serial number as the changed device information.
After completing the change, check if it has been opened normally. For reference, note that opening may not be possible if the mobile phone model and serial number are not registered correctly. (In the case of some terminals, it may not be recognized. In this case, visit the branch and it will be processed)
With this, I will end the post that I have divided into the self-sufficient phone opening method and the definite change.
