Self-supplied mobile service has long been seen as cheap but inconvenient in South Korea, requiring users to buy devices and sign up separately. SK Telecom launched 'air' in October to handle activation, point rewards and customer service in one app. The brand offers six 5G plans priced from 29,000 won to 58,000 won, with QoS options and app missions that earn points for bill discounts. Critics warn of pressure on budget carriers, which SKT denies.
