Unlimited SIM & eSIM 5G — heavy-data travelers

Streaming, video calls, remote work or sharing data across devices? These unlimited high-speed 5G plans go beyond the daily-capped tourist SIMs above. Pick data-only, or add Vietnamese local calls.

5GB/day vs Unlimited — which is right? The Tourist SIM plans above give 5GB/day at high speed — perfect for maps, Grab and messaging on a budget. The plans below are unlimited high-speed data — better for streaming, hotspot/tethering, long stays and content creators.

Good to know before you buy

Passport registration is required

Vietnamese law requires every SIM/eSIM to be registered to a passport. Send us a photo of your passport page and we handle the registration for you — no queueing at a counter.

Nationwide 5G coverage

All plans run on Vietnam’s leading networks. Viettel has the widest reach in mountains, islands and rural roads; Vinaphone and MobiFone are strong across cities and beaches.

What “Unlimited · 120GB high speed” means

You get full 5G speed up to the listed high-speed cap. Beyond it, data keeps working at a reduced speed under the operator’s fair-use policy — you won’t be cut off.

Free same-network & local minutes

On Data + Call plans, calls to the same operator are free, plus the listed free minutes to any Vietnamese number — ideal for calling drivers, hotels and restaurants.

Hotspot & tethering

Unlimited plans are great for sharing data with a laptop or tablet. Tell us if you’ll tether heavily and we’ll point you to the best-value option.

Staying longer? Top-up & extend

Validity counts from activation. If your trip runs long, we can help you top up or extend so you stay connected without buying a new SIM.

More questions from foreign travelers

Should I choose a 5GB/day plan or an Unlimited plan?

Pick a 5GB/day Tourist SIM if you mostly use maps, ride-hailing, messaging and light browsing — it’s the cheapest way to stay online. Choose an Unlimited plan if you stream video, make lots of video calls, work remotely, or share your connection as a hotspot.

Do I need my passport to buy a SIM or eSIM in Vietnam?

Yes. Every SIM/eSIM must be registered to your passport by law. Just send Ocean Treasure Travel a photo of your passport and we complete the registration before you arrive — you skip the paperwork entirely.

Which network has the best coverage — Viettel, Vinaphone or MobiFone?

Viettel has the widest nationwide coverage, including remote mountains and islands, which is why our unlimited Viettel plans are popular for road trips. Vinaphone and MobiFone perform very well in cities and coastal resort areas.

Is “Unlimited (120GB / 180GB / 300GB high speed)” really unlimited?

Data never stops. You get top 5G speed up to the listed high-speed allowance; after that, browsing continues at a reduced speed under the operator’s fair-use policy. For most travelers the high-speed cap is far more than a trip needs.

What are “free same-network calls” and “local minutes”?

Calls to phones on the same operator are free and unlimited. The listed minutes (50 / 100 / 200) are free calls to any Vietnamese number — handy for reaching drivers, hotels, clinics and restaurants. Data-only plans don’t include calling.

Can I use the SIM as a hotspot for my laptop or tablet?

Yes — unlimited plans are ideal for tethering. If several devices will share the connection or you’ll stream in 4K, let us know and we’ll recommend the plan with the largest high-speed allowance.

Can I keep my home number for banking OTP while using Vietnam data?

Yes. Keep your home SIM in the second slot (or as an inactive eSIM line) to receive SMS OTP, and use the Vietnam plan for data. We’ll set the correct default line for you during setup.

Can Ocean Treasure Travel set it up when I land?

Absolutely. Ocean Treasure Travel can have your SIM or eSIM registered and ready, and combine it with airport fast track and private-car airport pickup — one team, one smooth handover.

How to activate your SIM / eSIM

Five minutes, start to finish.

  1. Confirm your phone & trip length. Check that your phone is unlocked; for eSIM, verify eSIM support (iPhone XS+, Samsung S20+, Pixel 3+ and newer).
  2. Choose physical SIM or eSIM — order before landing so everything is ready on arrival.
  3. eSIM: scan the QR code on stable Wi-Fi. Keep your home SIM active in the second slot so banking OTP still arrives.
  4. Restart the phone and enable mobile data (and data roaming if prompted).
  5. Test before leaving the airport: Google Maps, Grab, WhatsApp, KakaoTalk, LINE or WeChat. Our team can check it with you.
Quick recommendation: most visitors under 15 days are happiest with the Tourist SIM 5G — 15 Days. Business travelers, guided tours or anyone who must call Vietnamese numbers should pick a Mobi Local package (SIM or eSIM). Staying 2–4 weeks? The 30-Day Tourist SIM is the best value. Prices are listed in VND — card, cash and bank transfer are all accepted.

Common questions from foreign travelers

Can I use Google Maps, Grab, WhatsApp and translation apps?

Yes — that’s exactly what these packages are sized for. If you do lots of video calls, social uploads or hotspot sharing, pick a higher-data option.

Should I choose eSIM or a physical SIM?

Choose eSIM if your phone supports it and you want paperless setup before landing. Choose a physical SIM if your phone is locked, doesn’t support eSIM, or you prefer direct installation at the airport or hotel.

Do I need local calls?

Chat apps only? Data-only is enough. Need to call drivers, hotels, hospitals or restaurants? Choose a Mobi Local package with calls included.

Will my banking OTP still work?

Yes — keep your home SIM in the second slot (or as the inactive eSIM line) for SMS OTP, and use the Vietnam SIM for data. We’ll help you set the right default lines.

Can Ocean Treasure Travel set it up when I arrive?

Yes. SIM/eSIM setup can be combined with airport fast track, airport pickup by private car, tours or arrival assistance — one team, one handover.
