eSIM for Vietnam: prepaid data plans from $5.43
A travel eSIM for Vietnam gives you mobile data from the moment you land, with no roaming to switch on and no SIM counter to queue at. Between the buzz of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and the coast at Da Nang, you buy before you fly, pay by card, and activate by scanning a QR code.

Where the signal reaches
You'll depend on data across Vietnam's cities and towns — for ride-hailing, maps and translating menus — from Hanoi in the north to Ho Chi Minh City in the south. On boats around the bays or in the far highlands any network can drop, so save offline maps before you set off.
Sort it before you fly
Set the eSIM up at home while you have steady wifi. Scan the QR code from your email and it waits on your phone until it connects in Vietnam. Doing this early means you land ready to book a ride or find your hotel, rather than searching for a SIM stall first.
Keep your number and apps
Your normal SIM stays put, so your home number still gets calls and texts, and WhatsApp works just as it does now — useful for confirming tours and transfers. The eSIM carries only your data, which you can watch and switch off whenever suits you.
FAQ
Is an eSIM good for Ha Long Bay trips?
On the mainland and around the harbours you'll have a signal for photos and messages, but out on the water during a cruise, coverage can come and go. An eSIM keeps you online for the journey there and for planning your day.
Do I need one eSIM for the whole country?
No, a single Vietnam plan covers your trip from north to south. Whether you start in Hanoi and finish in Ho Chi Minh City or the other way round, the same eSIM stays with you, with nothing extra to buy en route.
Will my phone support an eSIM?
Most recent, unlocked phones do. Check that eSIM is listed in your settings and that your handset isn't locked to a single home carrier, then you can add the Vietnam plan in a few minutes before you fly.
