I can confirm the previous posting: Vinaphone SIM 8GB for 300k VND, no passport required at Hanoi Airport. It looked like an official Vinaphone stall (there is a Mobiphone booth as well, didnt see Viettel).

My leaflet says "80 minutes local calling, 80 local SMS and 50 minutes international calling". "International calling" mean fixed and mobile numbers in USA, Canada, Hongkong, Singapore, Korea, China, Thailand, Malaysia. And only fixed numbers in Japan, Taiwan, Argentina, Australia, Belgiu, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand, Spain, Switzerland, UK, Puerto Rico, Russia.

The package was apparently pre-activated. On the backside of the SIM I found "Global Connection SIM / GCS telecom / vinaphone" and the URL http://www.gcsvietnam.com

Tethering and even VPN connections work flawlessly. 3G everywhere in Hanoi but speed could be better.
