Korea Pocket Wi-Fi

FAQ

• 

  Do I need to book in advance?

  

  You may use our service by visiting one of our LG U+ Customer Centers on the day of your arrival, with no prior reservation. However, booking in advance provides additional benefits, so we encourage you to make a reservation before you visit.
  See LG U+ customer center locations.

• 

  Is it possible to use your service even though the rental and return locations are different?

  

  Yes, you can return the items to any of our customer centers at Incheon airport, Gimpo airport, or Gimhae airport, even if it is not the one where you originally rented.

• 

  If I only need data, which product can I use?

  

  You could rent a pocket Wi-Fi, or purchase a data SIM or eSIM. While the portable Wi-Fi requires the payment to be settled upon return, the Data SIM or the eSIM do not need to be returned once it has been paid off upon purchase.

  What is a Pocket Wi-Fi?

  

  A pocket Wi-Fi is a small, portable device that provides wireless internet access wherever you go. It works like a mobile hotspot, creating a Wi-Fi network that multiple devices—such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops—can connect to.

• 

  How many devices can I connect to the Pocket Wi-Fi?

  

  You can connect up to 10 devices simultaneously with a Pocket Wi-Fi. However, actual performance may vary depending on network conditions, the number of connected devices, and overall data usage. For the best experience, we recommend connecting fewer devices when streaming or using high-bandwidth applications. Please refer to your pocket Wi-Fi device spcifications for exact details.

• 

  How long does the pocket Wi-Fi's battery last?

  

  The battery life of pocket Wi-Fi varies depending on usage and network conditions.
  For extended usage, consider reducing the number of connected devices and avoiding data-intensive activities like video streaming. You can also use a portable power bank to keep your device charged while on the go. Please check the specifications of your pocket Wi-Fi device for exact battery details.
