You must activate roaming to be able to use your cell phone abroad. Another option would be to buy a local SIM card in Korea and replace your Malaysian SIM card. This way you’ll be able to use your current mobile device. However, you must make sure your cell phone will work with a Korean SIM card (it could be coded by the network you are using in Malaysia, or it could only work in a certain GSM band).
