How to Use The Phone and Internet in Vietnam ?
With arguably the best street foods in Vietnam, and Vietnam is also a long country for traveling. If you are planning traveling for more than a week, you might need to know how to use your phone with local SIM Card and you should optimize the internet (4G/5G) to help you make any booking during traveling Vietnam By Bike.
4G/5G is always expensive at all over the world, but If you know How to use it, you just pay very little change with the unlimited data for the whole month.
Here’s everything you need to know about buying a local SIM card in Vietnam:
In 3 most popular Internet Networks, we highly recommend you should use Viettel with the best network system, you can use most of the region in Vietnam, Even when you are trekking in the forest or national park such as Cat Tien National Park, Cuc Phuong National Park, Yok Don National Park, etc..
If you do not need to use for long time and you will only stay in the city center of Vietnam, you can use the others, but Mobifone sometime is cheating you and if you’re heading too far off the beaten track, it will not work or not work well, and there’s really no reason to go with Vietnam Mobile. It’s the cheapest of the lot, but has very poor data service outside the largest cities of Saigon, Hanoi, Danang and if you unluckily use Vietnam Mobile, you please stay in the town at least.
I’ve used all three of the major players on various trips, but these days tend to stick with Viettel. With the best coverage, good data speeds, and similar prices to the competition, I’ve found little reason to look elsewhere.
How to Use Vietnam SIM Card ?
The process for buying a SIM card in Vietnam has become much more complicated in recent years which let them control the user easily. The government started strictly enforcing registration rules in 2016, and canceled 12 million cards that had been illegally registered.
While there are numerous stalls selling SIM cards at international airports, and tiny stores on most city streets doing the same thing, be careful if you decide to use them. Most unofficial vendors, including those at airports, can’t register a SIM to you.
Cards purchased from these vendors typically either aren’t registered, or are registered to someone else and can be shut down at any time. In either case, you’ll need to visit an official store for (re)registration.
