The short answer: Unfortunately for you, there is not an AT&T store in South Korea. Your phone from AT&T will not work in Korea, unless you have a International Roaming plan with AT&T. The long answer,. jail break the phone and unlock the phone and use any sim card from Korea on the unlocked phone.

Will my US curling iron work in South Korea
Will my US curling iron work in South Korea?
Its compatible with 110-240V, but it doesn't have a switch to change for different voltages.

If it says it's compatible with 110-240V and doesn't have a switch, it can probably detect voltage automatically. However, just to be safe (and since you probably have at least one other appliance that's not dual voltage) just buy a transformer. You can get one for less than $10, easily. Certain appliances sold in Korea even require one, so you'll probably end up buying one anyway. I bought a Nintendo DS here and needed a transformer for the charger even though I bought it in Korea. I'd recommend going to Dongmyo Ap Market (NOT to be confused with Dongdaemun Market). They have lots of cheap transformers there. The Korean word for transformer, for reference, in 변압기 (byeon-ap-gi), which literally means "changing the voltage machine." :-)

no US cord have that flat rectangle one korea use cylindar shape ones go buy a switching thing

I have not had good luck with this. The plugs are different, the ones here are round, not flat. You can get a converter, but the small ones may burn out your curler and the big ones are, well, huge and heavy. They are a pain. It would be just as cheap for you to just buy a new curler over here as to get a transformer and its less weight in your suitcase when you come over.

It will switch automatically with a converter... I got one at best buy and it was 20 bucks, small and has multiple countries. You never know where you will be traveling. How long are you going to be in Korea. If you plan on stay 6 months to a year I would recommend buying one out here. It is a lot cheaper. Good luck

I would say South Korea would be the best place to start looking for work in South Korea!
2 :
get 3/4 of an english degree and a teaching certificate and you could swim there naked and get a job the moment you touch beach. English teachers bank in South Korea, natural speakers are in really high demand. After that it's pretty much normal immigration crap. Passport, apply for a work visa or dual citizenship, or just citizenship.
3 :
At a guess, I would suggest that contacting the South Korean embassy may be a good starting point.
4 :
I don't want this to sound wrong, because it's not how I feel, but... Sometimes it can be hard for teachers -- even native English speakers -- to get jobs teaching English in South Korea if they are not caucasian. There is a weird expectation here that all foreign English teachers be caucasian, or look drastically different from the Korean culture. I have seen a couple of people of African descent who teach here, but I also know of several people of African descent who have been fired upon arrival to Korea because, "their skin is too dark". Literally, that was why. We also know of several Chinese and even Korean Americans who were denied jobs because of skin color/origin. So, I could very well be wrong, and I am sorry I am saying this, but it may be difficult to find a job if someone is to find out you are not caucasian. We (my husband and I) lost a job because the school found out we were on very low dose anti-depressants. I also know people who've been fired/refused positions for being too tall. The culture here is very different from western culture. But I definitely do wish you luck! I just wanted to warn you. As far as where to start: I would start looking at http://www.eslcafe.com and you can decide whether to go with an agency, or to find a job on your own. I would, say, however, that you should strongly consider teaching at a public school as opposed to a private, after school academy. You may witness some violence against children in the public school, but overall, it's a better deal than most private academies which offer very little holiday or time off and which sometimes take you for all you're worth. Hope this helps!
