1. How it benefits
An eSIM is a digital SIM embedded in the device that allows you to activate a cellular plan from the carrier without having to use a physical SIM.
Nowadays, foreigners traveling to Vietnam tend to use eSIM instead of traditional SIM cards because of several benefits that eSIM offers.
You can activate it by scanning a QR code, which connects you to the best local network instantly, no need to dismantle your phone to input a physical SIM card anymore.
eSIM can be bought outside Vietnam and buyers will receive it in minutes via email. Therefore, you can be prepared and access the Internet right after arrival in Vietnam.
eSIMs are priced competitively, similar to traditional SIM cards. It also helps to reduce roaming charges and hidden costs which often arise for SIM card users.
Certain phones equipped with dual-SIM or multiple-SIM functionality enable seamless switching between lines, offering a level of flexibility that extends beyond traditional physical cards.
Due to their embedded nature, eSIMs are resistant to physical damage or loss, guaranteeing a stable signal quality without the possibility of card damage.
