Ho Chi Minh City is where most Vietnam trips start or end, and it is a motorbike city: the way you get anywhere is to summon one through an app, agree the price on screen and follow the route as it unfolds.
That means data from the moment you leave the airport, plus translation for menus and street food, and booking for the buses, sleeper trains and flights carrying on to Hoi An, Da Nang or Hanoi. The same eSIM works throughout Vietnam.
This is an eSIM for Vietnam. It works everywhere in the country, Ho Chi Minh City included — there is no Ho Chi Minh City-only plan, and you would not want one. See all Vietnam plans

Frequently asked questions
Is this eSIM only for Ho Chi Minh City?
No. It is an eSIM for Vietnam, and it works across the whole country, Ho Chi Minh City included. That is deliberate: plans are sold per country, so you stay connected when you leave Ho Chi Minh City instead of losing data at the edge of town.
Will my phone work with the Ho Chi Minh City eSIM?
Any eSIM-compatible phone bought in the last few years (iPhone XS or newer, Pixel 3 or newer, recent Samsung Galaxy, etc.) works with our Ho Chi Minh City eSIMs. Use our compatibility checker if you are unsure.
When does the Ho Chi Minh City eSIM start counting?
Validity starts the moment the eSIM connects to a network in Ho Chi Minh City, not when you buy it. You can install it before your trip without losing days.
Do I keep my regular number while using the Ho Chi Minh City eSIM?
Yes. Your physical SIM stays active for calls and SMS on your normal number. The Ho Chi Minh City eSIM only handles mobile data, so WhatsApp, maps, and apps keep working.
Can I tether or use a hotspot in Ho Chi Minh City?
Yes, all our Ho Chi Minh City plans allow tethering and personal hotspot, so you can share data with a laptop or another device.
What happens if I run out of data in Ho Chi Minh City?
You can buy a new plan for Ho Chi Minh City at any time and install it on top of the previous one. No need to wait or visit a shop.
Is the Ho Chi Minh City eSIM refundable?
If you have not installed or activated the eSIM yet, contact our support and we will issue a refund. Once the QR has been scanned and the eSIM activated, it cannot be refunded because you changed your mind — but if it isn't working, contact us and we'll sort it out.
