If it is 2G (CDMA) then no. If it is 3G then maybe.

Did they decommission the CDMA network in HK? I used to have a Korea / HK phone several years ago.

I may be wrong, but I thought that there was a problem with "SIM"-roaming. Best to ask LGT or SK I guess.

the CDMA setting in HK market is completely different from the network of Japan or Korea...(even if CDMA is still available in HK)

no..it won't work
3G..may be (but you need to ask the local communication service shop first...before you take the phone to HK)

Seems like you can roam with south korea if you have the right handset.

I didn't pay attention to the model numbers, but I have used a Samsung phone from Orange Hong Kong in Korea.
