eSIM Travel Tips for Vietnam
Vietnam is a popular long-haul trip for Canadians
Vietnam is consistently ranked among Canadians' favourite long-haul destinations for value, food, and scenery. Activate your HelloRoam eSIM before your flight from Canada. You land in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City ready for Grab taxi and Google Maps.
Grab taxi is essential in Vietnamese cities
Grab (Southeast Asia's equivalent of Uber) is the safest and most reliable way to get around Vietnamese cities. It requires a working data connection. Your HelloRoam eSIM powers Grab from the moment you clear customs.
Ha Long Bay day trips and cruise coverage
Coverage in Ha Long City is decent. At sea on Ha Long Bay cruises, signal drops on the water between islands. Download offline maps and cruise itinerary details before boarding your junk boat.
Hoi An and Da Nang coverage is strong
Da Nang and Hoi An Ancient Town have solid 4G coverage. Hoi An's old town lanes are well covered for navigation and restaurant apps. My Son Sanctuary outside Hoi An has reasonable 4G on the access road.
Long bus and train journeys
Vietnam's north-to-south Reunification Express train and sleeper buses cover rural terrain. Coverage is decent on main routes but drops through mountain tunnels and remote highland sections. Download offline entertainment before long-haul night trains.
Mobile networks in Vietnam: what Canadians need to know
Viettel Mobile and Vinaphone are the two networks available to HelloRoam eSIM users in Vietnam. Viettel covers cities and rural provinces alike, while Vinaphone covers cities and main travel routes well. Both run 5G in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and other major cities, with dependable 4G elsewhere. Your HelloRoam eSIM connects automatically to the strongest available signal.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!

Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
