Can I buy a SIM card after midnight at Incheon Airport?

Answer status
YES, AT 24-HOUR COUNTERS

Quick answer

Yes, at the counters that stay open around the clock: Terminal 1 has a 24-hour counter near Exit 13, and Terminal 2 has a 24-hour counter in the arrivals hall. Other counters close at night.

What you should know

  • Terminal 1: a 24-hour counter near Exit 13 (SKT, KT, LG U+).
  • Terminal 2: a 24-hour counter in the 1F arrivals hall near Exits 4โ€“6.
  • Other booths have set hours, so a late flight may find them closed.
  • An eSIM installed before you fly avoids the queue altogether.

What you need

  • โ€ขAn unlocked phone

Alternatives

  • โ€ขAn eSIM bought and installed before you fly
