I have been working remotely across Southeast Asia for 3 months. Wanderly eSIMs have been my go-to every single time. Reliable, affordable, and instant. Nothing else comes close.

Traveller reviews for Vietnam
1 verified reviewVietnam eSIM plans at a glance
Wanderly lists 41 fixed-data Vietnam plans, ranging from 1GB up to 50GB over 7 to 365 days. Prices start at $2.99, and the lowest cost per gigabyte is $0.87/GB on the 20GB 30-day plan.
Unlimited day-passes are also available from $1.99 per day, billed per day rather than per gigabyte. All 57 Vietnam plans can be topped up without reinstalling the eSIM.
Every plan is data-only and installs from a QR code, so your home number stays active on its own line. Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Vietnam, not at purchase, which means you can install before you fly.
🇻🇳 About eSIMs in Vietnam
Vietnam is deceptively well-connected. Viettel — the country's largest carrier — reaches almost every corner of the country including the Ha Giang loop and the Mekong Delta villages. Wanderly Vietnam eSIM plans use Viettel or Vinaphone, so you get 4G in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, Da Nang, Hoi An, and along the Reunification Express train route from north to south.
Travelers here lean hard on Grab (taxis, food, even groceries) and Google Translate for menus, so plan for 8–12 GB per week if you are moving between cities. Motorbike tours through Ha Giang and the coastline south of Da Nang have surprisingly good signal — you can share your live location with family without effort.
Airport SIM kiosks at SGN and HAN are heavily marked up. Install the Wanderly eSIM at home and you land connected, no cash exchange or paperwork required.
How to activate your eSIM in Vietnam
- 1Install on Wi-FiScan the QR while at home. Data does not start until you first use the plan, so installing early is safe.
- 2Enable on arrivalAfter Noi Bai or Tan Son Nhat, switch to the Vietnam eSIM for data and turn on Data Roaming — required for all eSIMs.
- 3Get GrabGrab is essential in Vietnam — taxis, motorbikes, and food delivery all use it. Sign up on Wi-Fi before you go if possible.
- 4Save offline mapsDownload offline Google Maps for the Ha Giang loop and remote Sapa in case you dip below the border on the higher passes.
