i have an unlimited data plan on my iphone 4, which i think costs me 55,000/mo.

but after the phone subsidy, i end up paying about 80,000 a month.

Yeah thats about right.  I have SK also with my iPhone.  That is the lowest rate that has the unlimited data plan with 300 minutes and 200 text I think,

+1, 55,000 a month plus phone cost, tax, insurance etc, I think my total is 72,000/mo over 2 years.

I got the Galaxy S I a few months ago (didn't want to pay more for the II, even though it looks like a much nicer phone).  55,000 a month, +9,000 / month for the phone, + taxes = 73,000 /  month for me. Note that he 'unlimited usage' is only for data.  You only get 300 mins / month for voice calls and 200 texts (I think).  Of course, there are 'solutions', like Skype and Kakao Talk.

There numbers for for the Galaxy S I...don't know about the II.

I'm not sure who your salesperson was, but i'm with KT and paying the same as you (maybe even less) and i'm using the Galaxy SII. From the top of my head i'm paying the 55,000/month data plan, 8000/month for the phone for the first 12 months, then it drops to 6000/month for the second year plus the associated taxes. My bill for May was 74,830, June was 84360 because I had to make some urgent international calls and I bought some things through the phone plan although i'm not sure if this bumped it up. This month i'm predicting around 75,000 and next month it'll drop to 67000 because I would've paid off my 24000 registration fee spread over three months. If it doesn't drop i'm calling them up and asking why.

I've got unlimited 3G data, 300 minutes of local calls and 300 texts. If you use an app called OTO or ACE you can make international calls to landlines or mobiles (select countries only) using your local call minutes. It's all free (as long as you don't use up your 300 minutes) so I don't bother using skype.

I got the GSII through KT on a 2year contract for a little over 70k a month. unlimited data. SK and KT have similar prices, I've checked around. So I went with KT since they are supposed to be more foreigner friendly. I haven't had any issues yet.

I bought an unlocked HTC nexus from a friend and I use it with KT (SK wasn't happy with it for some reason). When I signed up this month there were 3 flat rates, 500MB (I don't remember price), 1GB (30,000W), or unlimited (55,000W) + you get 300 mins and 30 txts.
