SIM cards & Connectivity

• Top Pick SIM: Viettel offers a stable connection and services with reasonable rates, making it the best Vietnam SIM Card for your trip. Consider Vinaphone if Viettel isn't available. Avoid Mobifone and Vietnamobile.

• Physical SIM: If you're buying a physical SIM, it's important to be aware of potential scams and make sure you register with your passport. Physical SIMs are available at every airport in Vietnam, but please note that there is no official Viettel store at the airport. Upon arrival, you can access the free WiFi at the airport to book a grab/taxi to go to the city and request a stop at a Viettel store or The gioi di dong (Thế giới di động) store.

• E-SIM: Purchasing an eSIM is a convenient alternative that offers ease of purchase and use, saving time traditionally spent searching for a store or plugin. Check Airalo for E-SIM options.

• Free-wifi: Most airports, restaurants, cafes and hotels in Vietnam offer free Wi-Fi access. Simply ask the staff for the password, as this is a common practice in Vietnam, so don't hesitate to ask. Occasionally, the password is printed and displayed on the wall or on the bill. On the road, however, 4G-5G connectivity would be essential for most of your connectivity needs.
