eSIM for Vietnam
Plans from $2.00 per day
Vietnam
Vietnamese coverage runs on Viettel and Vinaphone, delivering fast 4G — and increasingly 5G — across Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Hoi An and along the entire coastal corridor that most itineraries follow.
Local SIMs are cheap but require in-person passport registration, and their validity often expires before a longer trip ends; an eSIM offers a cleaner match to your actual travel dates and puts you online instantly for Grab, hostel and sleeper-bus bookings, and currency apps. Hotspot is supported for sharing on group travel.
Signal is strong across the cities and beaches but can drop to 3G in Sapa, the northern mountains, and remote stretches of the Hà Giang loop, so download offline maps for the highlands. Install at home and activate on arrival — Vietnamese carriers recognize the eSIM instantly.

Why eSIM here, not a local SIM
Vietnamese SIMs are cheap but require passport registration in person, and the validity often expires before long-stay travelers finish their data — eSIM offers a cleaner duration match.
Free Wi-Fi: Common. Coverage is excellent in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Hoi An, and along the entire coastal corridor. Sapa and remote mountain regions may drop to 3G.

Common questions about Vietnam
When does my plan's validity start in Vietnam?
Validity starts when your eSIM first connects to a local Vietnam network, that's usually as soon as you land and switch off airplane mode. Installing the eSIM at home days before your trip doesn't burn any days.
Can I use my phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot in Vietnam?
Yes, all Esim70 plans support tethering by default with no separate daily cap. Your phone can share its data connection with a laptop, tablet, or travel companion's phone.
Will my home number still work in Vietnam?
Yes, modern phones support dual-SIM. Your home SIM stays active for calls and SMS while the Esim70 eSIM handles data abroad. You can keep WhatsApp / iMessage tied to your home number too.
