Network and coverage
Your eSIM roams on whichever eligible local network gives the best signal: Mobifone, Vietnam Telecom Services Company, Vietnamobile, Viettel, VNPT. Some plans include 5G where the network offers it.
Why Kokio for Vietnam
Kokio asks for no ID at all: you sign in with a passkey, and we never collect your name or email.
Kokio plans connect by roaming, so there is no local SIM to register.
Pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, or crypto (USDC, USDT or DAI from a Kokio Wallet on Base, or other coins via MoonPay). The plan price is the same whichever way you pay, because Kokio covers the payment processing fees.
Tips for Vietnam
- Vietnam is on the Southeast Asia plan with Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines and China, so one eSIM can cover a Bangkok to Hanoi trip.
- 5G on these plans comes through Viettel and VNPT. The other networks on the list are 4G, so pick Viettel or VNPT by hand if you want 5G.
- Unlimited plans run for 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 or 30 days, so a two-week trip from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City fits the 15-day plan.
Setup
- Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi. It installs once only.
- Land at Noi Bai, Hanoi (HAN) or Tan Son Nhat, Ho Chi Minh City (SGN).
- iPhone: Settings → Mobile Service → choose the Kokio line for mobile data, with data roaming on.
- Not connecting? Toggle Airplane Mode, then pick a network manually.

FAQ
- Do I need my passport to buy a Vietnam eSIM?
- No. Kokio asks for no passport, name or email. You sign in with a passkey on your phone.
- Does the Vietnam eSIM include a Vietnamese phone number?
- No. Kokio's Vietnam plans are data-only, so calls and messages go through internet apps.
- Does the Vietnam eSIM work in Thailand or Cambodia too?
- A Vietnam plan works in Vietnam. The Southeast Asia plan adds Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines and China, but not Cambodia.
- Can I use 5G in Vietnam?
- Yes, on Viettel and VNPT where they offer it. Every Kokio Vietnam plan can use 5G on those networks.
