Vietnam – known for its taste for robust coffee (robusta), its love for motorbikes & fascinating history.
The country has recently become popular with Digital Nomads who enjoy the weather, relatively low cost of living & fantastic foods.
I feel like I have to live in Vietnam for a while too, instead of just traveling through it for a month or too 🤔.
Anyway, being part of Southeast Asia, Vietnam is one of the cheaper travel destinations out there.
And also within the region.
Unfortunately, nearby Laos and Myanmar do not get as much love as Vietnam does.
But that may be because there are just too many fun things to do in Vietnam.
While there are many things you can do in the country, such as soaking up all the sun at the beach to exploring temples, there is certainly one thing you will do…
Sharing your experience online 🤳🏿.
What you should not do, in many cases, is roam internationally in Vietnam.
International roaming can be expensive, which is why I advocate for local prepaid SIM cards or eSIMs.
Those are often inexpensive and allow you to enjoy local rates.
And oh boy, the rates are low in Vietnam – even though things may feel expensive when you walk around with 100 000 VND bank notes.
So, how much do SIM cards cost in Vietnam?
You can get a Vietnamese SIM card for 50 000 VND/60 000 VND (2.10 USD/2.50 USD) from Viettel Mobile, VinaPhone & MobiFone in their stores. SIM cards are also sold at various airports, including Ho Chi Minh City-Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN).
Those prices are not too bad, right?
Just wait until how much data-featured plans cost.
You will not find plans priced this well in the European Union that easily – that is for sure!
In this guide, I will go over everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Vietnam. Let's do this.

Can You Buy a SIM Card in Vietnam?
Anyone living in or visiting Vietnam can buy a Vietnamese SIM card from the mobile network operators (Viettel Mobile, VinaPhone & MobiFone) with some restrictions.
The main restriction is that you can only have three active SIM cards in your name in Vietnam.
Besides that restriction, you are free to use Vietnamese SIM cards.
You do have to comply with the SIM card registration regulations.

Moreover, you need a phone that supports the frequencies used in the country (preferably all of them to have the most optimal experience while in Vietnam).
Furthermore, you need to have a SIM-lock-free device.
Where Can You Buy a SIM Card in Vietnam?
You can get a Vietnamese SIM card in Viettel Mobile, VinaPhone & MobiFone stores. They are also sold at various airports, including Ho Chi Minh City-Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN).
You can buy a Vietnamese SIM card in the following airports:
- Da Nang – Da Nang International Airport (DAD
- Hanoi – Noi Bai International Airport (HAN)
- Ho Chi Minh City – Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN)
- Nha Trang – Cam Ranh International Airport (CXR)
- Phu Quoc – Phu Quoc International Airport (PQC – may not be the case anymore)
You can expect to pay the following for Vietnamese SIM cards:
- Viettel Mobile: 50 000 VND – 60 000 VND
- VinaPhone: 50 000 VND – 60 000 VND
- MobiFone Vietnam: 50 000 VND – 60 000 VND
The following Vietnamese mobile operators also have SIM cards targeting tourists:
- VinaPhone: 1790 000 VND & 249 999 VND
- MobiFone Vietnam: 109 000 VND
For up-to-date VND:your currency (let's say USD) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.

Can You Use Your Phone in Vietnam?
Vietnam uses GSM technology for mobile communications. CDMA phones will not work in Vietnam. If your phone has a SIM card slot, then it supports GSMA (99% of the phones do support GSM nowadays).
Traditional European frequencies are used in Vietnam, which are mostly used in ITU Regions 1 and 3 (Africa, Asia (including the Middle East), Europe & Oceania).
The Americas (North-, Central– & South America + the Caribbean – ITU Region 2) use American frequencies, which differ from the European ones.

If you bought your phone in Africa, Asia, Europe, or Oceania (ITU Regions 1 and 3), you should not experience any issues with using your phone in Vietnam.
If you purchased your phone in the Americas (ITU Region 2) and have a low/medium-end device (without Tri-Band or Quad-Band) support, then there is a possibility you cannot use your phone when in Vietnam or can only use slower networks (3G or 2G).
If you have a medium/high-end device with Tri-Band or Quad-Band support, you can use your phone in Vietnam (to some extent) – also on 4G/LTE and 5G NR.
Mobile Operators, Networks & Frequencies in Vietnam
Vietnam has four mobile operators offering prepaid services easily accessible to travelers:
- Viettel Mobile
- VinaPhone
- MobiFone Vietnam
- Vietnamobile
The following frequencies are used in Vietnam:
- 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
- 3G: 2100 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 1800 MHz (Band 3) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
- 5G NR: launching soon (probably with 3500 MHz on n78)
You can learn more about frequencies in the video below.
To check whether your phone will work in Vietnam, check out this page by Kimovil or this one by Will My Phone Work (outdated, unfortunately, but extremely user-friendly – useful for phones launched in or before 2019. It does not check for 5G NR compatibility).
Again, make sure your phone is unlocked. Otherwise, you will not be able to use any SIM card except the one from your home operator (meaning you have to roam internationally or buy another unlocked phone that does support the frequencies listed above).
If you want to learn how international roaming works, this guide explains it in-depth. If you wonder why it is often so expensive to roam, this article explains the hidden reason they do not want you to know.
A Note about Vietnamobile

Vietnamobile is the fourth and smallest mobile operator in Vietnam.
In the first version of this guide (2019), I omitted Vietnamobile because it was whack.
It had awful coverage and excruciating slow speeds.
In the current version of this guide (2022), I considered adding Vietnamobile because it actually improved over the past three years.
But in the end, I decided not to do so.
The issue, however, is that its coverage mostly improved in the Southern part of Vietnam (such as in Ho Chi Mihn).
Central and Northern Vietnam still have to deal with Vietnamobile's 3G network… which is straight-up trash.
Well… its 4G/LTE network is basically trash too.
In fact, the average download speed with Vietnamobile is around 5 Mbps.
And you have to be close to the tower in order to get such speed.
While Vietnamobile is cheap, like really cheap, and its tourist SIM cards are appealing, the 1 USD or 2 USD savings is not worth your money.
You really should avoid Vietnamobile, even though I wish the best for it.
But it is so bad that it would be an insult to recommend it in this guide 🥲.
VoLTE & VoWiFi in Vietnam
Both VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G) – also known as HD Voice) and VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi – also known as WiFi calling) are available in Vietnam. However, not all mobile operators offer both services.
This means that your phone does not have to downgrade to 2G or 3G when making a call in Vietnam (unlike mobile operators that do not support VoLTE).
The following mobile operators offer VoLTE and VoWiFi in Vietnam:
- Viettel Mobile
- VinaPhone
The following mobile operators offer VoWiFi only in Vietnam:
- MobiFone Vietnam
VoWiFi is, as the name implies, calling on a WiFi connection as opposed to on a cellular network.
5G NR in Vietnam
Commercial 5G NR will be launching in Vietnam in 2022. While Viettel Mobile and Vinaphone held (free) trials, they were trials. Viettel Mobile will be the first one to launch its 5G NR network. However, it is unknown whether prepaid customers can use it upon launch.
Best SIM Card in Vietnam
Best eSIM in Vietnam
Viettel Mobile, VinaPhone & MobiFone offer eSIMs to prepaid customers.
Note that the Vietnamese mobile operators require your identification (passport) for eSIMs and physical SIM cards (will be discussed later).
Therefore, if you wish to get an eSIM for Vietnam without personal detail capturing, you can get the Vietnam (Cu Chi) eSIM from Airalo.

You have these six options:
- Vietnam/Cu Chi 1 GB eSIM for 7 days – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Vietnam/Cu Chi 2 GB eSIM for 15 days (new)
- Vietnam/Cu Chi 3 GB eSIM for 30 days (new)
- Vietnam/Cu Chi 5 GB eSIM for 30 days (new)
- Vietnam/Cu Chi 10 GB eSIM for 30 days (new) – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Vietnam/Cu Chi 20 GB eSIM for 30 days (new)
Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in March based on data up to the 13th of March (2023 data only)
The Airalo links above will automatically get you the available Phone Travel Wiz exclusive offers – a code is unnecessary.

You can also get Vietnam eSIMs from Nomad.

TIP: check out my Best Vietnam eSIMs Compared guide for an in-depth comparison of several eSIMs for Vietnam, including ones not mentioned above.
Airalo recently heavily improved its Asia eSIM, following the popular Eurolink eSIM for 39 European countries, with six variants: 1 GB/7 days, 3 GB/30 days – very popular with PTW readers, 5 GB/30 days – most popular with PTW readers, 10 GB/30 days – very popular with PTW readers, 50 GB/90 days & 100 GB/180 days to be used in Vietnam and 13 other Asian countries:

Just like in Europe, many readers tend to visit multiple Asian countries, so they would rather have a travel eSIM covering multiple countries than just one (like Vietnam).
The Asialink eSIM can be used in 14 countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia:
- Cambodia
- China
- Hong Kong
- Indonesia
- Japan
- Laos
- Macau
- Malaysia
- Philippines
- Singapore 1
- South Korea
- Taiwan
- Thailand
- Vietnam
1 currently, newly bought Asialink eSIMs cannot be used in Singapore. Airalo is working on re-including Singapore in its Asialink offering

With the Asialink eSIM, you can save a lot of money by skipping the initial SIM card costs per country you visit.
- Check out my Airalo Asialink review ((being) tested in Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, the Philippines, (Singapore), South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand & Vietnam (ongoing review throughout 2023 and 2024, so check back often!)

Currency in Vietnam

Vietnam uses the Vietnamese Đồng with the symbol VND (which will be used throughout this guide).
However, prices are often listed as đ. For example, 25 VND = 25đ.
For reference, below are some exchange rates between PHP and USD (US Dollars):
- 1000 VND = 0.04 USD
- 10 000 VND = 0.42 USD
- 100 000 VND = 4.20 USD
- 1 000 000 VND = 42.20 USD
- 10 000 000 VND = 421.70 USD
For up-to-date VND:your currency (let's say MYR – Malaysian Ringgit) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.
If your credit/debit card charges you foreign exchange fees, get yourself a Wise Borderless Account and Debit Card.
Their fees are MUCH lower than banks and credit card companies charge you (and Wise is transparent about their fees, unlike banks).
I have saved literal THOUSANDS of Australian Dollars and Euros, my main currencies, when using Wise abroad when traveling compared to my debit and credit cards.
Vietnamese Prepaid SIM Cards
Below, I will guide you through Viettel Mobile, Vinaphone & MobiFone Vietnam, and go through:

With that being said, let’s see what Vietnam has to offer to us.
Viettel Mobile

Viettel Mobile, often referred to as just Viettel, is the largest mobile operator in Vietnam.
It is one of the best mobile operators in the country.
Viettel is run by the Vietnamese Ministry of Defence.
While that may sound scary at first, the Ministry and Viettel have done well over the past 30+ years.
The Viettel group is also active in Burundi (as Lumitel – largest), Cambodia (as Metfone – largest), Cameroon (Nexttel – first to launch 3G), East Timor/Timor Leste (as Telemor – largest), Haiti (as Natcom – smallest), Laos (as Unitel – largest), Mozambique (as Movitel – largest), Myanmar (as Mytel – smallest), Peru (as Bitel – smallest) & Tanzania (as Halotel – smallest).
Viettel Mobile uses the following frequencies:
- 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
- 3G: 2100 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 1800 MHz (Band 3) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
- 5G NR: N/A – commercial launch launching soon (probably 3500 MHz on n78)
- VoLTE: Yes
- VoWiFi: Yes

SIM Card Price – Viettel Mobile
You can get a Viettel Mobile SIM card, called Tomato, for 50 000 VND or 60 000 VND, depending on how premium the phone number is, in Viettel stores. The data-only SIM card (Dcom) is also sold for 50 000 VND. SIM cards are also sold at various airports, including Hanoi-Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) and Ho Chi Minh City-Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN).

It is possible to get a Viettel Mobile eSIM for the same price as a regular SIM card.
Note that the Vietnamese mobile operators require your identification (passport) for eSIMs and physical SIM cards.
Therefore, if you wish to get an eSIM for Vietnam (without personal detail capturing), you can get Vietnam Cu Chi eSIMs from Airalo (six options):

- 1 GB/7 days
- 2 GB/15 days (new)
- 3 GB/30 days (new)
- 5 GB/30 days (new)

Do you think the map above is nice, but you want a country list instead (because you do not recognize the countries on a map🗿)? You can find it in my Airalo review!
I have used, and will be using, the Airalo Asialink eSIM in every country it can be used in.
- Be sure to check out my Airalo Asialink eSIM review for my insights!

Many more travel eSIMs will perform well in Vietnam.
You can read about them in my Best Vietnam eSIMs Compared guide for an in-depth comparison.

Note that Viettel Mobile offers VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G)) if your phone supports it and you have enabled it in the settings.
Oh, you can also use VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi).

- 3G: 2100 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 1800 MHz (Band 3) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)

SIM Card Price – VinaPhone
You can get a VinaPhone SIM card for 50 000 VND or 60 000 VND, depending on how premium the phone number is, in VinaPhone stores. The data-only SIM card (Ezcom) is also sold for 50 000 VND. SIM cards are also sold at various airports, including Hanoi-Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) and Ho Chi Minh City-Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN).

Short-term visitors and tourists can also get one of the two VinaPhone tourist SIM cards:
Price | SIM Card | Data | Validity |
---|---|---|---|
179 000 VND | TR7 | 2 GB/day (14 GB) | 7 days |
249 999 VND | TR15 | 1.5 GB/day (22.5 GB) | 15 days |
But you may have to text WICALL to 888 to activate VoWiFi.
- Find out how much SIM cards cost in every country, including data-only SIM cards and tourist SIM cards, offered by each mobile operator + information about starter benefits (lookup tool)

It is possible to get a VinaPhone eSIM for the same price as a regular SIM card.
Note that the Vietnamese mobile operators require your identification (passport) for eSIMs and physical SIM cards.
Therefore, if you wish to get an eSIM for Vietnam (without personal detail capturing), you can get unlimited data eSIMs from Holafly (seven options):
- Unlimited/5 days
- Unlimited/10 days
- Unlimited/15 days
- Unlimited/20 days
- Unlimited/30 days
- Unlimited/60 days
- Unlimited/90 days

The best part is that you can get 5% off using code PHONETRAVELWIZ on each Holafly eSIM purchase!
No idea what or who Holafly is? Check out my Holafly review, where I share my hands-on experience after using its eSIMs in more than ten countries over two years.

If you plan on visiting other neighboring Asia nations, consider the Holafly Asia eSIM to be used in 11 Asian countries with two variants:
- 6 GB/15 days (max. 500 MB/day) – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- 10 GB/30 days (max. 500 MB/day) – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in March based on data up to the 7th of March.

Do you think the map above is nice, but you want a country list instead (because you do not recognize the countries on a map🗿)? You can find it in my Holafly review!
Remember to use code PHONETRAVELWIZ for 5% off each Holafly purchase!
Many more travel eSIMs will perform well in Vietnam.
You can read about them in my Best Vietnam eSIMs Compared guide for an in-depth comparison.

Note that VinaPhone offers VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G)) if your phone supports it and you have enabled it in the settings.
Oh, you can also use VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi).

No idea what or who Nomad is? Check out my Nomad review, where I share my hands-on experience after using its eSIMs in more than 25 countries over two years.

If you plan on visiting other neighboring Asian nations, consider the Nomad APAC eSIM (Asia-Pacific) to be used in 7, 12, or 15 countries, depending on the plan, with 13 variants:
- 1 GB/3 days (15 Countries Plan)
- 3 GB/5 days (15 Countries Plan)

Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in February based on data up to the 7th of February.

Do you think the map above is nice, but you want a country list instead (because you do not recognize the countries on a map🗿)? You can find it in my Nomad review!
Remember to use code ADU123 for 3 USD/2.85 EUR/2.45 GBP/4.10 CAD off your first Nomad purchase!
I have used, and will be using, the Nomad APAC eSIM in select countries it can be used in (I may try the Nomad SEA-Oceania eSIM instead – but in the long run, I will use it in all where possible).
