Can I use it on the new Metro Line 1?

Yes. Line 1 between Ben Thanh and Suoi Tien is well covered, so you can buy tickets in the metro app, follow your route and message friends underground. The same plan keeps working the moment you surface again.

Is the same eSIM good for the Mekong Delta or Cu Chi Tunnels?

Yes. It is one national Vietnam plan, so it stays connected on day trips to the Cu Chi Tunnels and down into the Mekong Delta. Signal is solid in the towns but can thin on remote river channels and back roads.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.
