Why choose Viettel?

⏳ Tourist eSIM — expires after the validity period

All eSIMs on this site are tourist eSIMs. The daily allowance runs at full carrier speed and then stops until midnight Vietnam time — it is never slowed to a crawl. When the validity period ends the eSIM is switched off automatically and cannot be extended: buy another plan if you need more days.
