Although almost all hotels and restaurants offer Wi-Fi that you can connect to, it’s still useful to know that obtaining a SIM card with a data plan in Vietnam is easy, quick, and affordable.
Alternatively, you can opt for the Vietnam eSIM, the new Holafly card with unlimited data. Here’s everything you need to know. Let’s dive in!
We previously recommended using local SIM cards in Vietnam, as they were more economical than physical SIM cards purchased online. However, with the advent of eSIMs, the choice has become very appealing.
The key reason for this shift is that eSIMs now offer unlimited data (though not yet available in all destinations), making this option much more attractive and a more justified price.
With the Vietnam eSIM, you don’t need a physical SIM card for internet access. Instead, you install a virtual card on your phone for unlimited data. Simply purchase the eSIM, set up your phone automatically, and as soon as you arrive, your smartphone will connect to the internet network.

Viettel is the most popular choice for purchasing a SIM card in Vietnam. You can get one at the airport or in any city you visit. You’ll need to present your passport for registration.
Here are the current rates for their tourist SIMs:
As mentioned earlier, we used to recommend local SIM cards in Vietnam as they were more affordable. However, with eSIMs now offering unlimited data, the decision has become much more interesting and the pricing more reasonable.
