Why use a South Korea number for Apple Account?
Day-to-day life in South Korea runs on KakaoTalk, Naver and Coupang, yet Apple Account remains the app for an Apple Account with a trusted number from the country. A +82 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
K-pop and K-culture fans: Fans signing up for Korean fan communities, ticketing sites and shopping apps often run into sign-ups that expect a +82 number.
Apple two-factor authentication depends on a trusted phone number for the life of the account.
