Installing a Kovitel eSIM for Vietnam
- Check that your phone is eSIM-compatible and carrier-unlocked (Settings → About → "Digital SIM" or "EID" on Android, "Add eSIM" on iPhone).
- Buy the plan on Kovitel's site or app and install it at home on Wi-Fi: scan the QR code or let the app add it.
- Label the line "Vietnam", keep your home SIM for calls and SMS, and turn on data roaming for the eSIM line only.
- Leave mobile data on your home line off before take-off. On landing, select the Kovitel line for data: the plan starts counting at first connection.
- No signal after a few minutes? Toggle airplane mode, then pick the network manually in the cellular settings.
