I saved 10,000 won and it's much more convenient. And each extra gig is 15,000 won, and it's pretty hard to burn through 500MB in a day (especially as the phone automatically connects to olleh wifi hotspots whenever possible), so even if you're a heavy data user, the SIM is probably cheaper than even the unlimited Egg.

I suppose if you're only on a weekend mileage run or something, the Egg is a better deal.

Although I will grant that the Egg supports LTE, which apparently the Evergreen SIMs, at least, do not.
For me, I burn through data ridiculously (internet radio) so the egg was a good deal for me. Plus, Instagram, WhatsApp, Skype... I put that egg a run through its paces haha.
