5/21 Talk about getting a cell phone in Korea.

In this day and age, having a cell phone is a must in Korea.
* a must: 필수품
ex> Packing a neck pillow for airplane flights is a must for me.

There are three service providers, dozens of new cell phone models, and various payment plans to choose from.
* payment plan: 요금제
* service provider: 서비스 공급업체

You visit a mobile carrier branch and select the cell phone of your choice.
ex> You can order any item of your choice from the menu.

You then choose the right monthly payment plan that suits you.
ex> There are so many monthly payment plans that it's hard to choose the right one.

This is why most people sign up for a two or three-year contract to cut down the price of the cell phone.
ex> I decided to finally sign up for the gym and get back in shape.

If you choose to cancel your contract before the full term, you are required to pay a cancellation fee.
ex> You have no choice but to cancel your contract if you're going to be moving abroad.


@ He sure knows how to convince people to buy things they don't need.  사람 설득하는 데 일가견이 있어.

1. It's hard to find a household without a computer in this day and age.
2. Let's have a dinner at the restaruant of your choice.
3. I call the service center to change monthly payment plan.
4. I had to cancel my contract because I lost my cell phone.
