LG U+ (Korean: LG유플러스; LG Uplus) is a South Korean telecommunications and Mobile phone operator controlled by the LG Group, one of the country's largest chaebol. It was formerly known as LG Telecom.
LG Telecom became one of the first companies to launch a commercial 3G service using PCS technology. In 1997, this was followed up by launching the second PCS network, offering greatly increased data transmission speeds.
LG Telecom also offers a variety of mobile services. BankOn is one of the most popular Mobile banking services in South Korea and MusicOn is an on-line music store.

In January 2010, LG Telecom merged with LG Dacom and LG Powercom.
As of 1 July 2010, LG Telecom changed its name to "LG U+".
