Viettel eSIM for your trip to Vietnam

Prepaid data plans on the Viettel network, sold with the QR code shown right after payment. Viettel is the state-owned carrier that also serves many mountain and rural areas, so its plans are a common pick for routes that go far outside the cities.

Viettel eSIM plans for Vietnam start at $7.88 for 7 days, with validity from 7 to 30 days. Pay by card, install from the QR code on your order page, and get a full refund if the eSIM does not work.

Viettel eSIM questions

Do Viettel eSIM plans include a Vietnamese phone number?

The Viettel plans sold here are data plans. Each plan card says whether a Vietnamese number or calls are included; plans marked Data only have neither, and you call through apps such as WhatsApp or Zalo instead.

Does 5G work on a Viettel eSIM?

Viettel runs 5G in the larger cities. Whether your phone joins it depends on the plan, the phone and the place; every plan gives you 4G, and 5G where the plan and the network allow it.

Can I top up or extend a Viettel eSIM from VietSIM?

No. These are prepaid plans with a fixed validity. If you need more days or data, buy another plan; a second eSIM can be installed alongside the first.
