APN settings.
If the phone didn't work at all it would be because of Korea's phone whitelisting.
Korea (for those of you who are unaware) are extremely protectionist in terms of what they let in their country; high import taxes, tariffs, and in the case of cellphones, a 'whitelist' of phones that are allowed. Any phone model which isn't on a list of databases isn't able to be used in Korea. Learned that one the hard way when I took my old Blackberry (wow that's a long time ago) there and was unable to get any kind of service. Had to buy a new phone there.
Tell your friend to either update the APN settings, or get someone to do it for her. If calls and texts work, there's no reason data wouldn't either--it's not like there's separate antennae for calling/texting and data.

Posted via RS Mobile | There are a few places GSM phones won't work. Japan is one I can think of off the top of my head.

Posted via RS Mobile | Phones sold outside of Korea or Japan need HSPA (3G/3.5G) 2100 MHz frequency in order to work in those countries. Since they do not solely use 2100, it might be why your friend could only text and call and not 3G.
So in your case it depends on which local galaxy note 2 version you bought.
Robelus versions have UMTS (3G/3.5G) 850, 1900 and 2100
Mobilicity and Wind version only got UMTS 850 and 1900 and AWS
International Version: UMTS: Quad Band

Has anyone bought any interesting accessories for their phone yet?
I am starting to shop around for a spare battery, HDMI out cable, and if I can find it for a good price a wireless charger and backing plate.

I dont really even get the idea of dual sim unless you really have a use for 2 numbers. Most people just use phones for casual use

Most people just use phones for casual use | Most corporate users here carries two phones. One personal and one work phone. Many people in Asia countries do the same too. They carry 2 phones for personal and work. Some carry 2 phones for casual too (ie: phone # for mistress, phone # for wife). It's such a hassle to carry two phones with separate batteries for both phones and then dig out the phone that is ringing when someone calls you.
Dual Sim is one of the important feature that people ask for in many Asian countries such as Singapore and China. That is also the reason why Samsung release a dual sim version in those countries rather than here. Since boys and girls do not need 2 separate numbers for facebook and twitter.

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Eb-h1j9vnegstd-Battery-Charger/dp/B009LHG8V8/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Nothing fancy as it's just a battery charger that comes with a spare battery and an area where you can place you phone standing vertically or horizontally.
Still need to pick up the following accessories:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AAYASA8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&smid=A19R3BN6ZSO9A1 Wrapsol Samsung Galaxy Note II Ultra front and back screen protectors.

Damn, I should have waited for the dual sim version! The constant changing of sim cards is quite annoying, and as others says, those who live in Asia and have to travel a lot, dual sim is so important.

I'm still debating if I should root the phone too. There is a lot of crap from Robbers in my phone that I can't delete and I am not signed up for.

Can you bluetooth it from your old phone to new phone? I was able to do that with my contact list.
