Vietnam

Plans
Pre-paid cards come in many different plans such as HappyZone and Tomato. My HappyZone SIM card was purchased for 50,000VND but did not initially have data. A Vietnamese colleague called Viettel and within five minutes data was working. After a few weeks the voice and data stopped working but a 100,000VND recharge card got it going again.

Coverage
Fast 3G data has been available in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and even all over the remote island of Phu Quoc. The network is new and does not have many users for data yet.

Availability
No ID required. SIM cards are available at the airports and recharge cards are sold in small shops and on the sidewalks.

Tips
Call *101# to check your balance.

For 3G to work, the APN must be set to 'v-internet' with no username or password.
