Questions travellers ask
Can I use the eSIM in several Vietnamese cities?
Yes. A Vietnam plan works across the country wherever the partner networks have coverage. Signal can be weaker on boats and in remote areas.
Can I buy the eSIM before I travel?
Yes – that is the best way. Buy it online, install it at home on Wi-Fi, and switch it on when you land.
Will I still get bank OTP messages from home?
Yes, if your home SIM stays in the phone with roaming for calls and texts switched on. Use the eSIM for data and your home SIM for calls and OTP texts.
Does my phone support eSIM?
Most recent iPhones (XS and newer), Samsung Galaxy S and Z models and Google Pixel phones support eSIM. Your phone must also be unlocked. You can check under Settings: if you see “Add eSIM” or “Add mobile plan”, it is supported.
