Vietnam: 3 Best Prepaid SIM Cards Buying Guide (2023)

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).

However, you can also get a travel eSIM from various eSIM providers.

The list below is not exhaustive – many more providers have eSIMs for Vietnam.

But these are the ones I have tried and had pleasant experiences with.

Moreover, they are reasonably priced, which I find very important (you will not see me recommending an eSIM I would not buy myself).

So here are the 15 best eSIMs for Vietnam:

• Vietnamese mobile operators (three offer eSIMs to prepaid customers – read more in my Vietnam SIM card buying guide)
• Airalo Vietnam eSIM with six choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (best value for money)
• Alosim Vietnam eSIM with six choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (priced roughly the same as Airalo with a bit more options – use code PTW for 5% off)
• Holafly Vietnam eSIM with unlimited data for 5 to 90 days (unlimited data eSIMs – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ for 5% off)
• Nomad Vietnam eSIM with ten choices between 1 GB and 100 GB (best value for money… too – use code ADU123 for 3 USD off)
• Airalo Asialink eSIM with six choices between 1 GB and 100 GB (best value for money for 13 East- and Southeast Asian countries)
• Holafly Asia eSIM with unlimited data for 5 to 30 days (reasonably prices eSIMs for 11 East- and Southeast Asian countries, but Phone Travel Wiz readers like the eSIM somehow)
• AIS eSIM2FLY Asia eSIM through SimOptions with 5G NR access in Vietnam with two choices between 6 GB and 10 GB (eSIM with the most 5G NR supported Asian countries (12/32) at a reasonable price but with a short validity – SimOptions does sell other Asian eSIMs, but they are not as good as AIS)
• Nomad APAC eSIM with seven choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (the best of both worlds in terms of pricing and performance for up to 16 Asian and Oceanian countries)
• Nomad SEA-Oceania eSIM with six choices between 1 GB and 30 GB (the best of both worlds in terms of pricing and performance again but for up to eight Asian and Oceanian countries (can be cheaper than Nomad's APAC eSIM))
• Airalo Discover(+) eSIM (formerly Discover Global) with 12 choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (extensive global coverage (130+ countries) at attractive prices) + ability to make and receive calls & send and receive SMS (new) – read my ongoing Airalo Discover (+) (Global) eSIM review too!
• AIS eSIM2FLY Global eSIM through SimOptions with 5G NR access in Vietnam with one 6 GB option (eSIM with the most 5G NR supported countries (53/143) at a reasonable price but with a short validity)
• Nomad Global eSIM with six choices between 1 GB and 5 GB (extensive global coverage (109 or 139 countries) at high(er) prices – use code ADU123 for 3 USD off)

Because this is the SIM card buying guide for Vietnam, I will not spend too much time about travel eSIMs here and throughout this guide (but I will still do here and there).

If you want to learn more about the best eSIMs for Vietnam, you better check out my Vietnam eSIM buying guide.

It is as helpful and comprehensive as this guide but about eSIMs instead 😜.

SIM Card Registration in Vietnam

SIM card registration with your passport information is mandatory in Vietnam. It will be done at the point of sale.

Moreover, you can have up to three active prepaid SIM cards in Vietnam.

This restriction applies to both Vietnamese citizens and non-citizens (including migrant workers and tourists).

Being added.

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 = 0.40 USD
• 10 000 VND = 0.40 USD
• 100 000 VND = 4.15 USD
• 1 000 000 VND = 41.55 USD
• 10 000 000 VND = 415.65 USD

For up-to-date VND:your currency (let's say MYR – Malaysian Ringgit) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.

Vietnamese Prepaid SIM Cards

Below, I will guide you through Viettel Mobile, Vinaphone & MobiFone Vietnam, and go through:

• Background information
• Mobile coverage
• SIM card types, prices, and availability
• Recharge/top-up information
• Combo plans, data plans, and special packs (such as social media packs)

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

This is what you will learn about Viettel Mobile:

Coverage – Viettel Mobile

Viettel Mobile has the best coverage in Vietnam.

This was also confirmed by Opensignal.

Below is Viettel Mobile's coverage map produced by Speedtest:

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. 1 GB/7 days – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
2. 2 GB/15 days
3. 3 GB/30 days
4. 5 GB/30 days – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
5. 10 GB/30 days – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
6. 20 GB/30 days

Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in September based on data up to the 7^th of September (2023 data only).

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

If you plan on visiting other neighboring Asian nations, consider the Airalo Asialink eSIM to be used in 14 Asian countries with six variants:

1. 1 GB/7 days
2. 3 GB/30 days – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
3. 5 GB/30 days – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
4. 10 GB/30 days – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
5. 50 GB/90 days
6. 100 GB/180 days

Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in September based on data up to the 7^th of September (2023 data only).

• 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).

VinaPhone

VinaPhone is the second-largest mobile operator in Vietnam.

It is currently the fastest mobile operator in the country, but that is by a small margin (than Viettel Mobile – the other competitors do not stand a chance right now).

VinaPhone uses the following frequencies:

• 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
• 3G: 2100 MHz
• 4G/LTE: 1800 MHz (Band 3) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)

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:

249 999 VND	TR15	1.5 GB/day (22.5 GB)	15 days

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 (eight options):

1. Unlimited/5 days – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
2. Unlimited/7 days
3. Unlimited/10 days
4. Unlimited/15 days – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers

Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in September based on data up to the 7^th of September (2023 data only).

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 six variants:

1. Unlimited data /5 days – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
2. Unlimited data /7 days – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
3. Unlimited data /10 days – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
4. Unlimited data /15 days
5. Unlimited data /20 days
6. Unlimited data /30 days

Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in September based on data up to the 7^th of September (2023 data only).

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).

MobiFone Vietnam

MobiFone Vietnam, just MobiFone and not to be confused with MobiFone in Canada, is the third-largest mobile operator in Vietnam.

It falls under the Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT), which, in turn, falls under the Ministry of Information and Communication.

It has extensive coverage and fast speeds while being cheaper than Viettel Mobile and Vinaphone.

MobiFone 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: No

This is what you will learn about MobiFone:

* Coverage
* How to Get a MobiFone SIM Card & SIM Card Price
* Topping Up Options & Methods + Balance Check
* Plans & Packages
* APN/Internet Settings

Coverage – MobiFone Vietnam

MobiFone has extensive coverage throughout Vietnam.

Your reception will be more spotty up north compared to Viettel Mobile and Vinaphone.

Below is MobiFone's coverage map produced by Speedtest:

SIM Card Price – MobiFone Vietnam

You can get a MobiFone SIM card for 50 000 VND or 60 000 VND, depending on how premium the phone number is, in MobiFone stores. MobiFone 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 the MobiFone Happy Tourist SIM card – MobiFone's tourist offering.

For 109 000 VND, you get 8 GB of data and 40 local minutes for 30 days.

Price	SIM Card	Data	Local Minutes	Validity
109 000 VND	Happy Tourist	8 GB	40 minutes	30 days

It is possible to get a MobiFone 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 Nomad without personal detail capturing, you can get eSIMs from Nomad (nine options):

1. 1 GB/7 days
2. 3 GB/15 days (price dropped)
3. 5 GB/15 days (price dropped) – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
4. 10 GB/30 days (price dropped) – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
5. 15 GB/30 days (price dropped) – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
6. 20 GB/30 days (price dropped)
7. 30 GB/30 days (price dropped)
8. 40 GB/30 days (price dropped)
9. 50 GB/30 days (price dropped)

Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in September based on data up to the 7^th of September (2023 data only).

The best part is that you can get 3 USD/2.70 EUR/2.40 GBP/4.05 CAD off using code ADU123 on your first Nomad eSIM purchase!

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 15, or 20 countries, depending on the plan, with 11 variants:

Note: only the 15 Countries Plan and 20 Countries Plan can be used in Vietnam.

1. 1 GB/7 days (validity extended) (20 Countries Plan)
2. 1 GB/7 days (validity extended)
3. 3 GB/15 days (price dropped) (20 Countries Plan)
4. 3 GB/30 days (price dropped) ( 15 Countries Plan)
5. 5 GB/30 days (15 Countries Plan) – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
6. 5 GB/30 days (price dropped) (20 Countries Plan) – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
7. 10 GB/30 days (validity extended) (20 Countries Plan) – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
8. 10 GB/30 days (validity extended) (15 Countries Plan) – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
9. 20 GB/45 days (validity extended) (20 Countries Plan) – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
10. 20 GB/30 days (validity extended) (15 Countries Plan) – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
11. 30 GB/60 days (new) (20 Countries Plan)

Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in September based on data up to the 13^th of September (2023 data only).

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/2.70 EUR/2.40 GBP/4.05 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).

• Be sure to check out my Nomad APAC 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 MobiFone offers VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G)) if your phone supports it and you have enabled it in the settings but no VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi).
