Should I just buy a local SIM at Tan Son Nhat or Noi Bai airport?

Buying a local SIM at Vietnam's airports is straightforward — Viettel, Vinaphone, and Mobifone all run kiosks at Tan Son Nhat (HCMC), Noi Bai (Hanoi), and Da Nang International with passport registration. Airport tourist SIMs typically cost $8 to $15 and the queue takes 10 to 25 minutes after a long flight. The ETravelSim Vietnam eSIM installs at home before you fly, requires no passport handover or kiosk visit, and connects the moment your plane lands.

FAQs

Will my eSIM work worldwide?

eTravelSIM works across multiple networks in each covered country. However, your phone must be factory‑unlocked and eSIM‑capable. Coverage and 5G/4G availability vary by network.

Dual SIM: can I keep my home number active?

Yes—most modern devices support Dual SIM (eSIM + physical SIM). You can keep calls/SMS on your home SIM and use eTravelSIM for data while abroad. Configure default lines in Settings.

Update to the latest OS, restart, and check again. If still missing, your device/region/carrier may have eSIM disabled. Please contact your carrier or device maker.
