Frequently Asked Questions
Does Vietnam have eSIM?
Yes. Viettel, VinaPhone and MobiFone all support eSIM and sell prepaid eSIM plans to international visitors. Travel eSIMs for Vietnam run on those three networks and on Vietnamobile, which is how they work in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang and Hoi An. Your phone needs eSIM support and must not be carrier-locked.

Can I buy a Vietnam eSIM online before I fly?
Yes, and it is the easier way round. Buy it from home, install it while you still have Wi-Fi, since installing an eSIM needs an internet connection, and switch the line on when you land at Noi Bai in Hanoi, Tan Son Nhat in Ho Chi Minh City or Da Nang. That way you have maps and ride apps working before you leave the terminal.

Is it worth getting an eSIM for Vietnam?
For most travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. Vietnam plans start at $3.49 for 1 GB, and the longest lasts 365 days, which suits long stays and repeat visits. If your home plan already covers Vietnam at no extra cost, you may not need one.

Vietnam eSIMs on MobiMatter run on VinaPhone, Viettel, MobiFone, Vietnamobile, and VNPT International; 5G plans are available on VinaPhone, Viettel, and MobiFone. VinaPhone carries the most plans. Each plan names its network, so you choose your carrier before you buy.
Which eSIM is best for Vietnam?
For Vietnam alone, our top plan right now is 50 GB for 30 days at $24.99 from Vinaphone. If Vietnam is one stop of several, the top multi-country plan is 30 GB for 30 days at $21.99 from TSimTech, covering 6 countries.
How much data do I need for a week in Vietnam?
It depends on how you use your phone. Light use (maps, messaging, browsing) takes about 0.5–1 GB a day; scrolling a lot of social video can take 2–3 GB or more. Typical use per hour:
- Instagram Reels, TikTok: 0.3–1 GB
- YouTube, Netflix at standard quality: 0.5–1 GB
- Video calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime): 0.5–1 GB
- Voice calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime Audio): 50–70 MB
- Maps and navigation: 2–6 MB
- Messaging and browsing: 50–150 MB
The cheapest Vietnam plan with at least 5 GB for a week or longer is 5 GB for 15 days at $4.99.
Do Vietnam eSIMs support 5G and hotspot?
5G is available on 25 plans for Vietnam, where the local network has 5G coverage; the others use 4G/LTE. Hotspot (tethering) works on every plan, so you can share your data with other devices.
Does a Vietnam eSIM come with a phone number?
Most travel eSIMs, including most Vietnam plans, are data-only and have no local number. You keep your usual number on your main SIM for calls, texts and WhatsApp. Plans that include a number or minutes say so on the plan page.
Will my phone work with a Vietnam eSIM?
Yes, if it supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier. To check, dial *#06#: if an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM. Most iPhones from the XS/XR on, Galaxy S20 and later and Pixel 3 and later do, except most models sold in mainland China and some sold in Hong Kong and Macao.

Mentions VietnamI’ve been travelling around SE Asia for the last 7 months, covering 6 different countries, and this app has been amazing throughout when needing to change eSIM. Very easy set-up when buying one and if you in fact are having some troubles, contacting the support team and talking through email takes no time at all. I was having some difficulty with an eSIM in Vietnam since my phone was not finding a signal no matter what I did - their support team helped me and guided me on different ways to fix it. Thank you!!

I tested the speed. It connected even faster than the internet I use at home in Turkey. There's no need to unnecessarily enrich service providers. You can use it abroad with peace of mind.
