Vietnam travel data eSIM
What is a Vietnam eSIM?
A Vietnam eSIM gives travelers a ready‑to‑use data‑only connection the moment they step onto the streets of Hanoi, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City or any other destination. It eliminates the need to hunt for a local SIM, letting you stay online for maps, translation, ride‑hailing and booking services while you explore the country's rich history and vibrant culture.
When activated in Vietnam the eSIM links to Viettel Mobile 5G, Vinaphone 5G or MobiFone 4G, depending on which network your device selects. Data is drawn from the plan you chose, and you can use it for everyday online tasks such as navigation, messaging apps and checking travel itineraries throughout your stay.
Local networks
Which networks you connect to in Vietnam
Connecting through Viettel Mobile 5G, Vinaphone 5G or MobiFone 4G lets you access the local operator networks across Vietnam. The actual reach of the connection depends on the specific operator’s infrastructure in the area you are visiting, so you’ll experience service wherever those networks are present.
5 plans are available for Vietnam, from $3.90 up to $24.90. Every plan is data only, delivered by QR code, and starts counting when you connect on arrival.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operators does the Vietnam eSIM use and what does that mean for a traveller?
The eSIM connects to Viettel Mobile 5G, Vinaphone 5G or MobiFone 4G. This gives you access to the same networks that local residents use, so you can browse, message and use apps just as they do.
Can the Vietnam eSIM be used in a neighbouring country, such as Laos?
No, the plan is limited to Vietnam only. Regional eSIM options are available for travelers who need connectivity across multiple countries.
Which plan size suits a trip that includes both Hanoi and Da Nang?
As a rough guide, the 5 GB or 10 GB 30‑day plans often cover two major cities with typical daily usage of navigation, social media and occasional streaming.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
