It's just a phone card. I've seen it in a few of the phone stores around here. I would think some phone stores that sell cards around there would have it too.

The upper right corner says 11,000 won. I buy it from the little shop that is right on the corner on the right side of road directly across from the walk thru gate. She charges 10000 won even though the card says 11000. I hope that wasn't too confusing. A friend showed me how to do it.
Nearly, is it the store that has the little "drive-up window" as I like to call it? With the interesting looking female who sits in the window? If so, I know where you're talking about and I'm going to buy one of those cards!

Re: Cell phones...
I just visited my husband in Korea. He waited a month, trying to figure out the cell phone system, before buying a phone but still couldn't figure it out so is using the card option. It's way different than here and one could compare the common use of cell phone usage as a pre-paid phone here in the states. Bascially you have to activate your phone with a certain card and use a different one for your minutes (cuz it's cheaper). That's how most people use cell phones he found.
