I know there are kiosks at the arrival terminal at Incheon airport. And I found this via google: http://www.sroaming.com/eng/Reservation/Form.asp. It appears if you book in advance the daily rental fee is discounted by 50%.

Does anyone have any experience renting a phone for 5-7 days?

Just curious but is there a reason you want to rent rather than just buy a phone before going, is it going to be that much cheaper to rent? An unlocked Quadband phone can be had for sub $100 like the LG A165 or Samsung SGH-T369 wireless Galaxy (which I have no connection with) has a load of quadband for under $100

If UK based an unlocked quadband Samsung C3050 can be had for £24.95 (plus £10 top up credit).
