Hi all the sifu here,

I will be travel to Vietnam on the coming September
Normally I will top up my credit for Hotlink or Umobile to use the data roaming service at overseas such as Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia

Hotlink Social Roaming Pass, unlimited Facebook, Twitter, whatsapp and 200MB for other usage, RM20 for 3 days
Umobile Data Roaming Pass, Unlimited Quota @ RM10 per day for selected country

However, I wonder why both Hotlink & Umobile did not provide the roaming service at Vietnam ?
I try to seach for Digi and Celcom both of them have no info of roaming service at Vietnam as well

I prefer to use the data roaming service just in case people call/sms me I will know when I travel to overseas and I dont have to take out and put back the sim card
PS: my phone need the sim card tray pin to remove the sim card, quite troublesome for me

Anyone can help ?

Thank you

If not mistaken, none of any Malaysian Telco tied roaming services with Vietnam for some reason. Anyone know the exact reason?

I normally just use Viber or WhatsApp overseas. Just use the hotel wifi.

Not only Malaysia, there's not much country's telco had roaming agreement with vietnamese telco

just get a prepaid sim. their data rate is very cheap.

So purchase a sim pack at Vietnam and use it there is the only solution ?

Just get Viettel there.

Don't buy in airport, buy in any phone shop nearby where you will be staying.

50,000 for 1 local sim, 100,000 top-up. 150k = RM25-30.

then activate 30days internet pass for 1.2GB for 90k.

You got balance of few xxk's for call or SMS.

about the sim release pin, i keep a paperclip in my wallet to do that. doesnt take up much space

I think Mobifone also offer good rate and i use that everytime i travel there

is it?

I took viettel because I saw that is advertised the most when I went to North.

Sorry out of topic

Are you a rare Pikachu with hair ?

I also donno why their telco don't like have roaming agreement with foreign telcos...

Hi guys.

Any update ? Did anyone go to Vietnam very recently?

I checked at Hotlink and Umboile. Both offered a RM38 and RM36 daily data roaming with Viettel. Umobile stated in their Fair Usage Policy that RM36 is for 10MB a day and after that slow speed.

Have anyone used those before ?

dont bother. buy at local card at convenience store.

which one is better?

any of the big three: viettel, vinaphone and mobifone.

at tan son nhat airport, vinaphone sells a 3gb data card for 105k dong which i think is a good deal.

Recently i went to Vietnam... Lets just say its been a new experience for me.. I would say most important to have would be your own wifi or mobile data. to capture the moment and to upload the experience is really a blast.

End year... Lot of people start travelling.. Why am i the only one in KL..
and yes it is important to do research on whether to get roaming from KL or Vietnam...
last time get the sim card at Vietnam..but with the communication problem with the seller..unable to use the sim card and no refund coz i open the pack already...
next time i go..will just use activate my celcom roaming..rm 38 per day..with double data now so less hassle...

seriously? did you know that vn government instructed its telcos to cease affordable data roaming agreement with foreign telcos a few years ago?

celcom wonder roam normally offers 500mb per day. but for vietnam it just a tiny 50mb. with the 2x promo, 100mb.

suddenly, so many celcom trolls appearing on this thread. )

Roaming oversea it is a fact that is expensive. That one definitely cant be change. I would rather just a wifi dongle. and use their sim card. This could be an idea. Because uploading pictures are not that small also.

Just go and buy their sim card over there and use it. Or just buy a wifi porthub... done deal. Dont need to think so much.

100mb is enough for who? Background app already run till gone already... Somemore if you need to use for GPS also. I rather get something with more Quota... im talking by the GB

Have you check the celcom one? I saw on their website they are doing promotion for oversea roaming. but i didnt see about where would it be. 10MB wat can you do with it? I feel nothing much.

Hotel one might be enough for you. But for me its wont be enough. I upload and download stuff.. because need to use thing on the go. Hotel wifi depending too much on where r u.. because normally its not that great also.

What is mobifone. There sim card? I think its better to take our own go there.. Its always a problem for me to always change sim card. because i lost mine once. Its a real problem to get it back.

LOTS of one star trolls in here! )

A bit off topic, but does anyone know where can buy foreign tourist sim cards in Kuching? I am going to Vietnam in a few days (on short notice), and there is a Vietnamobile travel sim pack available from Hello1010 in Selangor, but it wouldn't arrive before I leave :( Maybe can get in store somewhere?!

Btw, seems like a good deal for anyone going to VN that wants a sim before arrival - RM35 (at the time of this post they say it is discounted from RM68) for 15GB (plus some calls and texts to other Vietnamobile), valid for 20 days (Vietnam Vietnamobile Travel Prepaid Sim Card)

In skype knot meh....wan see nenen mahhhh

Hi guys, can anyone help? Notice that Digi now has Vietnam listed under their International Roaming Pass @ RM10 / 1 day or RM25 / 3 days.

The telco partner is Viettel - however, I'm unable to find out the network speed available. Is anyone able to confirm if it is 4G? Else I will get a SIM at the airport itself. Thanks!

just search at Google which country sim card u need.local got 2 company carrying overseas simcard .for cheap (depends)


www.klook.com

when roaming you may get 4g signal but there is no guarantee you will get full 4g speed. for vietnam you better get a local card.
