Frequently asked questions
Will I have internet access if I travel through the highlands or take overnight trains?
Coverage varies depending on the provider you choose. For the best results in remote areas and high altitudes, look for options from Viettel, which is the leading mobile network operator in Vietnam.
Can I keep my current phone number while using an eSIM in Vietnam?
Yes, some international carriers like Proximus Belgium allow you to use a Daily Roaming Pass so you don't have to change your existing number. Other options like Airalo or Klook focus on providing data plans without a physical SIM swap.
Do any of these eSIM options provide unlimited data?
If you don't want to worry about data caps, Holafly offers premium plans that include unlimited data. These plans also allow for hotspot sharing if you need to connect other devices.
Can I set up my eSIM before I arrive in Vietnam?
Many providers allow you to download and activate your plan before you land. You can purchase data in advance through marketplaces like Airalo or via roaming services from carriers like Airtel India, Telkomsel Indonesia, or Globe Philippines.
Is it possible to get a local Vietnamese eSIM at the airport?
You can purchase tourist eSIMs and SIM packages online or directly at major airport hubs through Viettel. This is a reliable way to get connected as soon as you arrive in the country.
