What will my phone number be?

How do I check My Data Balance?

iOS Settings > Mobile > under Mobile Data for your [Vietnam eSIM name] > Current Period Android Settings > Connections > Data usage or Mobile data usage Pixel Settings > Network & internet > Mobile network or Data usage

Can I recharge my eSIM?

The Vietnam eSIM is designed as a single-use eSIM and cannot be recharged or extended once it has been activated. If you need to extend your data connectivity beyond the initial duration, you will need to purchase a new eSIM for the desired duration.

Which countries does this eSIM work in?

The Vietnam eSIM Card is specifically designed for use in Vietnam. It provides high-speed data connectivity within Vietnam, allowing travelers to stay connected while visiting the country.

If you plan to travel to other countries, you may need to purchase a separate eSIM card or make alternative arrangements for connectivity in those destinations.

How do my family and friends call and message me?

Since the Vietnam eSIM is a data-only eSIM, your family and friends won't be able to call or text you using a traditional phone number. Instead, they can communicate with you through internet-based messaging apps, such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, or email. You can share your contact details or preferred messaging app username with them to stay in touch during your time in Vietnam.

What happens if I am traveling for longer than the Service Days I purchased?

If you are travelling for longer than the duration covered by the Vietnam eSIM, you will need to purchase another eSIM for the additional days you need. This allows you to continue enjoying high-speed data connectivity during your extended stay in Vietnam.
