Vietnam

Yes, as long as your iPhone is eSIM-capable and carrier-unlocked. That covers the iPhone XS, XR and every model since, including the SE (2020) and newer. After buying, you scan the QR code we email you to install the Vietnam eSIM, then it carries your mobile internet the moment you land. Your physical SIM stays in place, so you keep your usual number on your primary line. If you're unsure whether your handset is locked, dial *#06# to check for an EID, or just ask our 24/7 support before you fly to Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. This travel eSIM is the simplest way to get online without hunting for a tourist SIM at the airport.

It does, provided your phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked. That includes the Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, the Z Fold and Z Flip range, Google Pixel 3 and newer, plus many recent Android models from other makers. Installing the Vietnam eSIM is the same on every device: scan the QR code we email after purchase and your prepaid data is ready to go. You keep your normal number on your main SIM, and the eSIM simply handles mobile internet while you explore Da Nang or the Mekong Delta. Older or network-locked handsets may not accept an eSIM, so if you're not certain, message our 24/7 support and we'll confirm your model works before you travel.

Your Vietnam eSIM connects to Vietnamobile, giving you fast, reliable data across the country's most-visited areas, including Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang. There's nothing to configure: once you scan the QR code and arrive, your phone automatically registers on the network and your mobile internet starts working. Because this is a data-only travel eSIM, it's built for browsing, maps, social media, streaming and staying in touch on apps rather than traditional calls or texts. You avoid expensive roaming entirely and pay one flat prepaid price you know upfront. It's a hassle-free alternative to buying a physical tourist SIM, and our 24/7 support is on hand if you ever need help getting connected.

Coverage is strongest in and around the big hubs like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang, where Vietnamobile data is fast and dependable for maps, streaming and calls over WhatsApp. Outside the cities, service remains solid across popular tourist routes, from Ha Long Bay and Hoi An to Nha Trang and the Mekong Delta. As anywhere, mobile internet can thin out in remote highlands, deep national parks or on long mountain passes such as the Hai Van Pass, so it's worth downloading offline maps before heading off-grid. For typical sightseeing, beaches and town stays you'll stay connected with prepaid data and no roaming fees. Our 24/7 support can advise on coverage for your specific itinerary.

It only takes a couple of minutes. After you buy, we email you a QR code: open your phone's mobile or cellular settings, choose to add an eSIM or data plan, and scan that code to install it. We recommend doing this on home Wi-Fi before you fly. Crucially, your validity and data don't start counting down until the eSIM first connects to the local network in Vietnam, so installing early costs you nothing. When you land in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, switch the eSIM on, turn roaming off on your normal line, and your mobile internet activates automatically. There are no shops to find and no physical tourist SIM to swap. If anything looks unfamiliar, our 24/7 support will walk you through it.

Yes, and we strongly recommend it. As soon as your order is confirmed we email the QR code, so you can scan and install the Vietnam eSIM at home over Wi-Fi rather than juggling settings at the airport. Installing early does not start your plan: validity and data only begin when the eSIM first connects to the local network after you arrive. That means you can set everything up days in advance and simply switch it on when you reach Hanoi, Da Nang or Ho Chi Minh City. Doing this avoids the scramble for a tourist SIM on arrival and keeps you off costly roaming from the moment you land. If you'd like to test the install before you fly, our 24/7 support is happy to help.

Almost always, yes. With this Vietnam travel eSIM you pay one flat prepaid price that you know before you buy, with no roaming fees and no surprise charges when your bill arrives. Traditional roaming from a home network can cost a great deal per day and stack up fast across a trip, whereas prepaid data keeps your spending fixed and predictable. You simply pick a plan that suits your stay, and if you run low you add another plan or top up rather than overpaying upfront for data you might not use. Combined with automatic activation and no physical tourist SIM to buy, it's a cheaper and far simpler way to stay online across Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City. Our 24/7 support can help you choose.

It depends on how you travel. If you mostly use maps to navigate Hanoi's Old Quarter, message on WhatsApp, check restaurants and post the odd photo, a lighter plan usually covers a week comfortably. If you stream video, make frequent video calls home or rely on your phone for work and hotspot, you'll want a more generous allowance. As a rough guide, heavier users often plan for around 1GB or more per day, while casual browsers get by on much less. The good news is you're never locked in: start with a plan that fits your trip and, if your prepaid data runs low exploring Da Nang or Ho Chi Minh City, simply top up with another plan. Our 24/7 support can suggest the right size for your itinerary.

Yes to both. This is a data-only eSIM, so while it doesn't carry traditional calls or texts, all your usual data apps work normally, including WhatsApp, FaceTime, iMessage, Messenger and other VoIP services for calls and messages over the internet. Because your phone is dual-SIM, your physical SIM stays active, letting you keep your normal number for verification codes and contacts. The simple setup is to turn roaming off on your primary line so it won't rack up charges, then let the Vietnam eSIM handle all your mobile internet. That way you can chat, video call and share photos from Hoi An or Ho Chi Minh City without expensive roaming. If you need help arranging your dual-SIM settings, our 24/7 support is available.

Yes, personal hotspot and tethering are fully supported on this Vietnam eSIM. You can share your prepaid data with a laptop, tablet or a travelling companion's phone, which is handy for getting work done from a Da Nang cafe or keeping the whole group online during a day trip from Hanoi. Just remember that anything you tether draws from the same data allowance, so streaming or large downloads over hotspot will use it up faster. If you expect to share a lot, it's worth choosing a more generous plan from the start, and if your mobile internet runs low you can simply top up with another plan rather than paying roaming rates. Our 24/7 support can help you size your data or add more on the go.

The best Vietnam eSIM is one that gets you online instantly, keeps costs predictable and works right across the country, which is exactly what this travel eSIM delivers. It runs on Vietnamobile for fast, reliable data in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang and the popular routes between them, activates by scanning a single QR code, and charges one flat prepaid price with no roaming fees. You keep your normal number on your main SIM, hotspot sharing is supported, and it works on recent iPhones and Android phones alike. There's no airport queue and no tourist SIM to swap. If you run low, you simply top up. Backed by 24/7 support before and during your trip, it's a genuinely hassle-free way to stay connected in Vietnam.
