Vietnam eSIM Plans & Prices
A Vietnam eSIM helps you stay connected when you arrive in Vietnam. Choose by data needs, phone number, coverage, and trip length.
Which Vietnam eSIM Should You Choose?
The fastest way to choose is to check four things: trip length, data needs, whether you need a number, and where you plan to travel in Vietnam.
MobiFone / VinaPhone with number
A better fit if you want mobile data plus a Vietnamese number for calls, SMS, or app verification.
Viettel eSIM
A stronger choice if you care about stable and coverage more than having a number.
High-data travel plans
A better fit if you use video calls, social media, uploads, streaming, or hotspot often during your trip.

Install Before Departure
Most Vietnam eSIM setups are straightforward. Install the eSIM before departure, then turn it on when you arrive in Vietnam.
Step 1: Receive your QR code
After checkout, your eSIM QR code is sent by email. Add it to your phone before your flight if possible.
Step 2: Turn it on in Vietnam
When you land, select the eSIM as your mobile data line. Some devices may also need data roaming enabled.
Step 3: Connect and start using data
Once connected to the supported local network, your plan begins and you can start using mobile data.
Common problems: wrong data line selected, phone not carrier-unlocked, eSIM-compatible device issues, or roaming not enabled where needed.
