"Unlimited" is never unlimited
Every unlimited plan sold for Vietnam has a fair-use cap. After a daily quota, speed drops to a trickle: 3 GB a day then 1 Mbps at Airalo and Roamless, 2.5 GB a day at GigSky. Holafly, Nomad, Ubigi and Yesim do not publish their cap at all. We show the cap next to every unlimited plan, and "not published" when the brand hides it.
For most trips a 10 to 20 GB plan costs less than an unlimited one and never slows down. Unlimited plans make sense for heavy video use, tethering a laptop, or trips over three weeks.

Which Vietnamese network is behind your eSIM
An international eSIM does not have its own antennas: it rides on Viettel, Vinaphone (VNPT), MobiFone or Vietnamobile. That choice matters more than the brand. Viettel has the widest coverage, especially in the northern mountains, the central highlands and the islands; Vinaphone and MobiFone are excellent in cities and on the coast; Vietnamobile is weak outside the big cities.
| Network | Viettel | Vinaphone | MobiFone | Vietnamobile |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Northern mountains (Sapa, Ha Giang, Cao Bang) | ||||
| Hanoi and the Red River delta | ||||
| Central coast (Hue, Da Nang, Hoi An, Nha Trang) | ||||
| Central highlands (Da Lat, Buon Ma Thuot) | ||||
| Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong delta | ||||
| Islands (Phu Quoc, Con Dao, Cat Ba) | ||||
| 5G | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
Multi-network eSIMs (BNESIM, eSIM4Travel, Sim Local, Roamless, GIGAGO…) connect to whichever of their partner networks has signal, which is the safest choice for a trip that mixes cities and remote areas.

eSIM or a local Vietnamese SIM?
A local SIM from Viettel, Vinaphone or MobiFone costs less per gigabyte than any international eSIM and gives you a Vietnamese number, which you need for bank OTP codes, Zalo and some Grab features. Since the 2024 telecom law, every SIM is registered to a passport: bring the original, and buy from an official shop or the airport counters rather than a street stall selling pre-activated cards.
An international eSIM wins on convenience: installed before you fly, working the minute you land, no queue, no passport registration. It costs more and never includes a Vietnamese number. Many travellers combine both: an eSIM for the first day, a local SIM for a long stay.
Our guide to Vietnamese SIM cards, airport counters and Vinaphone tourist plans →
How we rank plans
The default order is price, then price per GB when you ask for it. Commission never changes the order: brands we have no affiliate agreement with appear exactly like the others, and local Vietnamese SIM cards are listed alongside international eSIMs.
Every plan carries the date we last read its price on the brand's own website. A price older than 60 days is flagged "to confirm". Brands in the "checked monthly" group are re-verified every month: price, host network, daily caps and promo codes.
Some links are affiliate links: if you buy through them, the brand pays us a commission at no cost to you. This is how the site is funded. It does not change what we recommend.
Frequently asked questions
Does eSIM work in Vietnam?
Yes. All three major networks (Viettel, Vinaphone, MobiFone) carry international eSIM traffic, and the first two sell their own eSIMs. Your phone must be eSIM-compatible and carrier-unlocked: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, and most recent mid-range Android phones.
Which eSIM has the best coverage in Vietnam?
Plans on the Viettel network, or multi-network plans that include Viettel, cover the most territory, especially the northern mountains and the islands. In Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and along the coast, Vinaphone and MobiFone are just as good.
How much data do I need for Vietnam?
Maps, Grab, messaging and some photos use about 500 MB to 1 GB a day. Add video calls or streaming and you reach 2 to 3 GB a day. For a two-week trip, 10 GB is comfortable for most travellers.
Can I get a Vietnamese phone number with an eSIM?
Only with a Vietnamese operator's eSIM (Vinaphone, Viettel, MobiFone) or a reseller of their plans. International eSIMs are data-only: you keep your home number for calls over WhatsApp or iMessage, but you cannot receive Vietnamese SMS.
Is 5G available on travel eSIMs in Vietnam?
Vietnam's 5G networks cover about 90% of the population. Whether your eSIM uses them depends on the brand's agreement: we show 5G plan by plan. 4G is fast enough for everything but very large downloads.
When should I install my eSIM?
Install it at home on Wi-Fi, but do not switch on data roaming on that line until you land: most plans only start counting at first connection in Vietnam. Check the activation policy on each brand page.
Are promo codes real?
We only show codes that exist on the brand's own site or that the brand gave us, with the date we last tested them. Expired codes are removed.
Sources and method
Prices and plan details are read on each brand's website on the date shown next to every plan. Network coverage comes from nPerf and Opensignal measurements and from traveller reports; 5G figures from Vietnamese press. Trustpilot scores are quoted with their date.
