I’m moving to Vietnam in a few days and I need some information about the cell phone. So which network provider should I choose?

You can use your current phone with a SIM card purchased in Vietnam, similar to other international SIM cards. As of 2025, Vietnam has several mobile service providers, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. The three largest providers are Vinaphone, Mobifone, and Viettel.

Vinaphone is renowned for its stable and high-quality network, while Mobifone is known for its superior customer service. Viettel has a strong focus on promotional offers and competitive pricing. The cost for a new prepaid account and SIM card typically ranges from VND 100,000 to 200,000, depending on the type of plan selected (approximately USD 4.25 to 8.50). Service usage fees vary by provider, averaging between VND 1,500 and 3,500 per minute (about USD 0.06 to 0.15).

Currently, Viettel offers a special package aimed at foreign tourists called the "Tourist" package, which provides additional benefits and convenience for phone usage while in Vietnam. More information about this package can be found at Viettel's branches or retail outlets.
