The usage method is also simple and self-service, allowing subscription and activation within 5 minutes. After purchasing the SIM package at Homeplus, customers can scan the self-activation dedicated QR code provided or access the Skylife Direct Shop, follow the instructions to activate, and then insert the SIM into their phone.

To commemorate the Homeplus entry, Skylife is offering an additional SKY coupon worth 10,000 KRW, which can be used like cash at the Skylife Shop, to customers who purchase SIM cards at Homeplus, providing benefits of up to 140,000 KRW in SKY coupons.
