Most-Requested Missing Features

Features users are literally asking for in their reviews, ranked by demand.

#1: English language interface

High Demand
"I hope English Kt website/apps have English version so I can read to change my plan or pay bills, etc... that'd be very helpful"
"I don't pretend to know how many American Military / Defense / Business / Ex-Patriot customers you have....but it's gotta be more than 20,000 based on the amount of people being ordered to live here who serve the US military (and their dependents"

#2: SMS-based usage queries (no app required)

High Demand
"븅삼들아 문자로 무료통화랑 문자 데이터 확인하는거 만들면 이거 안하고도 되잖아. LG SK (*114)다 되는데 왜 KT만 문자로 요금조회 안 되냐고"

#3: App-level passcode/lock for security

Medium Demand
"요금제부터 부가서비스까지 이 어플 하나로 신청/해지가 가능한것 같은데... 그렇게 중요한 어플이 들어갈 때 잠금 기능이 없다는게 말이 안되네요"
"깜빡깜빡거리는 보안모듈보다도 시작시 패스워드 보안이 더 중요하지 않나요"

#4: Partner merchant directory for mobile card

Low Demand
"모바일카드 항목에 사용가능한 제휴사 조회정도는 기대하기 어려운 센스인가 싶다"

#5: Multi-line account management

Low Demand
"디자인이 좋으나 다음에서는 다중회선 사용시 다른 회선 상황(테더링하는 폰이 2개, 태블릿)에서 데이타 상황을 봤으면 합니다"

Build Recommendations

Prioritized actions based on user demand and market opportunity.

Lightweight English-language carrier app for US military/expats in Korea

20,000+ captive English-speaking users with zero native support, willing to pay for better service. Could partner with MVNOs or create dedicated foreigner-friendly carrier plans.

Third-party KT account manager with fast, native iOS design

Current app is web-wrapper with 30-second+ load times. Native app with instant barcode display, cached usage data, and standard iOS patterns would win users immediately.

Widget-based usage tracking (Today View/Lock Screen)

Users open app solely to check data/minute usage. iOS widgets showing real-time usage would eliminate need to open slow app entirely, solving primary use case.

SMS/USSD-based usage query service (non-app)

Users explicitly request text message-based queries like competitors LG/SK offer. Eliminates app dependency entirely for core use case.

Browser extension removing Xecure security module

The mandatory Xecure client-side encryption causes flickering and slowness. Technical users would pay for clean web interface without security theater.
