Can anyone help me with this? Yesterday, my girlfriend had to go home to her country due to a medical emergency in which she had no insurance to cover here. I'm not sure when if ever she'll come back. Is it possible to text someone in South Korea from the continental United States? I miss her already.

I use Kakao, and that's what most Koreans use too for international/free texting. It also lets you know when a person has read your message.

Yes, Kakaotalk. Download the app and you can search for her number.

You would also get about thirty minutes of talk time for one dollar on those cheap calling cards...country code is 82...drop leading zero if calling from abroad.

Kakaotalk also gets my vote.

You don't need a phone to use Kakaotalk. You can download the application for Windows or Mac.

Kakao - Enjoy the new everyday

Get your girlfriend to sign up for Kakaotalk and put it on her phone. Or, you can always use Skype--neither one of you would need a phone and even better, it's free (Kakaotalk is too, BTW).

Gmail accounts that were originated in the US, have the ability to dial numbers in the US....100% free. So any American going abroad...make sure you set up gmail before you leave. So tell your Korean GF to call you back in the US for free.
