30 Days 180GB Data and Call SIM card Vietnam

The right SIM saves airport time. This $16 Vietnam SIM gives you 30 days of 4G, LTE, or 5G service, with up to 6GB of data each day, local calling, and message service. I like the airport pickup at Noi Bai and the fact that staff can install and activate the card for you. I also like the nationwide coverage, which makes it useful beyond Hanoi.

The main drawback is simple: this is a physical SIM, not an eSIM, so your phone must accept a local SIM card. You also need to collect it during the counter’s stated 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM hours, unless you arrange hotel delivery in Hanoi.

Key points at a glance

• 6GB of data each day: That works out to a possible 180GB over 30 days, though the daily limit matters more than the headline total.
• Noi Bai pickup: Collect the card after baggage claim and airport exit at Terminal 2, with the counter described as being on the second floor.
• Fast setup help: Staff can install the SIM, activate it, and fix the APN if your phone does not connect right away.
• Calls and messages included: This is not data-only service, so it can suit people who need local calling as well as internet access.
• Whole-country coverage: The service is intended for use across Vietnam, not just in Hanoi.
• Useful backup help: A 24-hour hotline is offered, and the counter also provides money exchange and tourist information.

Why this airport SIM is useful in Vietnam

A working phone connection changes your first hour in Vietnam. You can contact your hotel, use maps, arrange transport, message family, and make a video call without waiting for hotel Wi-Fi. The airport pickup makes this particularly practical because you can get connected before leaving Noi Bai.

The price is $16 for about 30 days. For a month of service, that is a sensible cost if you expect to use maps, messaging, social media, video calls, or online work. The package allows up to 6GB per day, which is far more than most people need for ordinary navigation and messages.

I would not treat 180GB as one single pot of data. The important rule is 6GB per day. Heavy use can include video streaming, large downloads, or a phone used as a hotspot. For normal sightseeing, you are unlikely to come close to that daily amount.

The service includes data, calls, and messages. The supplied information does not spell out the exact number of call minutes or messages, so you should ask the counter staff to explain those terms before leaving the airport if calling is central to your plans.

Finding the counter at Noi Bai Terminal 2

The pickup point is Noi Bai International Airport in Phu Minh, Soc Son, Hanoi. The service operates from Terminal 2, and the counter is described in customer comments as being on the second floor after arrivals.

Your practical sequence is straightforward:

1. Collect your checked baggage.
2. Complete the airport exit process.
3. Go to the counter in Terminal 2.
4. Show the booking confirmation if requested.
5. Let the staff install and activate the SIM.
6. Test mobile data before walking away.

That last step matters. A SIM that works at the counter is a much better start than discovering a problem in the back of a taxi. Ask the staff to confirm that the phone shows a data connection and that the correct SIM is selected for mobile data.

Several staff names appear in the service feedback, including Kenny, Hung, and Kevin. Kenny is praised for explaining the activation and helping with setup. Hung is noted for being friendly and for assisting with installation. Kevin is described as quick at the desk and helpful with SIM service, money exchange, transport, and tourist information.

The counter is open daily from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM. If your flight arrives outside those hours, hotel delivery is available in Hanoi, according to the supplied details. You should arrange that before arrival rather than assume someone will be waiting at the airport overnight.

Setup help is the strongest feature

Buying a SIM is easy when everything goes right. The trouble comes when your phone is locked, the wrong line is selected, or the APN needs changing. This service includes quick setup at the counter, with APN assistance if required.

The SIM comes in nano, micro, and mini sizes. That covers the common physical SIM formats, although you still need a compatible, unlocked phone. The information provided does not confirm support for every phone model, so ask staff to check your device if you are unsure.

The setup service is especially useful if you do not want to change phone settings yourself. Staff can help install the card and explain the activation. Once the card is working, make a quick test call or send a message if those services matter to you.

I like this hands-on approach more than a bargain card left in an envelope. A cheap SIM is not much use if you cannot connect. The counter’s stated guarantee adds some comfort: if the SIM goes wrong, the provider says it will refund 100 percent.

That guarantee sounds reassuring, but keep your receipt and booking details. Also, test the service before leaving the airport so any problem can be handled while the counter staff are present.

What 6GB per day means for your trip

The data allowance is generous for most uses. You can use maps, translation tools, ride or transport information, messaging apps, email, and regular browsing without worrying about small daily limits.

Six gigabytes per day is also enough for substantial phone use. Still, the exact quality of service can vary by place and network conditions. The package is advertised with high-speed 4G, LTE, or 5G connection, but the supplied details do not promise that every location will receive 5G.

You should also remember that high-speed data is not the same as unlimited speed forever. The stated limit is 6GB each day. If you use your phone to stream for long periods or share the connection with several devices, check how much you have used during the day.

The coverage area is listed as all of Vietnam. That makes the card suitable for a trip that moves from Hanoi to other parts of the country. It is a better fit for a multi-stop itinerary than a plan limited to one city.

No separate return is needed. This is a one-time-use SIM, so you can discard it at the end of your trip. Keep your home SIM somewhere safe if you remove it from your phone, since losing that tiny chip can create a problem when you return home.

Calls, messages, and staying in touch

Many airport SIMs focus only on data. This one is described as a data, call, and message service. That broader setup can help if you need to contact a hotel, local business, driver, or tour office by phone rather than through an app.

The exact calling allowance is not provided. I would ask whether calls and messages are local only, how much calling credit is included, and whether international calling costs extra. Those questions are worth asking before you rely on the SIM for business.

For family contact, data may still be the main value. Messaging and video calling apps can use the high-speed connection, and you can reach people without paying your home carrier’s roaming rates. The service is presented as a lower-cost alternative to international roaming.

You should check your own phone settings after installation. Make sure mobile data is assigned to the Vietnam SIM, and turn off data roaming on your home line if needed. The counter staff can help with settings, but it is wise to understand which line is active before you leave.

Money exchange and extra airport help

The counter offers more than SIM cards. Customer service also includes money exchange, tourist information, and transport help. That can be handy when you have just arrived and want to handle several practical tasks at one stop.

The money exchange service received repeated praise, but no exchange rates are provided here. Check the rate and any fees before exchanging a large amount. A convenient counter is useful, but convenience does not automatically mean the best rate in town.

Tourist information and transport advice may also help you get oriented. The supplied details do not identify specific transport products or prices, so treat this as general assistance rather than a guaranteed transfer service.

This added help is one reason the counter may suit first-time visitors to Vietnam. You can collect connectivity, ask basic arrival questions, and sort out some cash needs without searching for separate desks. If you already have an eSIM and local currency, those extras may matter less.

Price and value at $16 for 30 days

At $16, the card offers strong value for a month of service, especially if you would otherwise use expensive roaming. You receive a physical SIM, a high daily data allowance, calls and messages, airport pickup, and setup help.

The value is less clear for a very short visit. If you are in Vietnam for only a few days and already have a reliable international eSIM, buying another plan may not be necessary. You are paying for 30 days even if you use only a small part of that period.

The card makes more sense when:

• You will be in Vietnam for several weeks.
• You want data as soon as you leave the airport.
• You prefer help from a person rather than installing an eSIM alone.
• You expect to use maps, video calls, and regular online services.
• You need a connection across more than one Vietnamese city.
• Your phone supports physical nano, micro, or mini SIM cards.

The offer is less attractive if your phone is locked, does not accept physical SIMs, or arrives outside the stated pickup hours without a hotel delivery arrangement.

What can go wrong

The largest practical risk is not the advertised data allowance. It is compatibility and timing. A locked phone will not accept the card, and a late-night arrival may fall outside the counter’s opening hours.

There is also a small risk of confusion when changing SIMs. Your home number may no longer receive calls while the Vietnam SIM is active, depending on your phone and dual-SIM settings. Keep your original card safe and ask staff how to switch lines if your phone supports two SIMs.

The 6GB daily allowance may also be misunderstood. The service is promoted as 180GB for 30 days, but the operational detail is 6GB each day. If you are a very heavy data user, confirm what happens after the daily amount is reached.

Coverage is described as nationwide, but no detailed network map or named carrier is supplied. The service promises high-speed connection, yet actual performance can vary by location and signal conditions. I would trust it for ordinary phone use, while avoiding a promise of perfect speed in every corner of Vietnam.

Who should buy this SIM?

I would recommend it most strongly to people arriving at Hanoi’s Noi Bai Airport who want a physical SIM installed by staff. The quick setup, APN help, and airport location remove much of the usual arrival fuss.

It is also a good match for a 30-day Vietnam itinerary. The nationwide service and large daily allowance give you room to use your phone freely without watching every map request or message.

Families may appreciate the simple setup and call support. Business visitors can benefit from data, calls, and messages, though they should confirm the exact call allowance before depending on it for work.

I would be more cautious if you rely on an eSIM, need a specific international calling plan, or land after 11:00 PM. In those cases, confirm hotel delivery or consider another option before booking.

Booking, pickup, and cancellation details

Confirmation is provided at booking. Pickup is at Noi Bai International Airport, Terminal 2, Phu Minh, Soc Son, Hanoi, and the service ends at that same meeting point because this is a SIM collection rather than a guided tour.

The counter is open from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM each day. Hotel delivery in Hanoi may be arranged for arrivals outside those hours. Since the details do not state a delivery fee or delivery timetable, confirm both before relying on that option.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time. Cancellations or changes made less than 24 hours before the start are not accepted for a refund.

Should you book it?

Book this SIM if you want simple airport setup, a month of service, and a large daily data allowance for $16. The strongest reasons are the staff assistance, the option to fix APN settings, the stated nationwide coverage, and the extra help with money exchange and arrival information.

Skip it if your phone cannot use a physical SIM or you already have a dependable eSIM. Before paying, check your arrival time, confirm the Terminal 2 counter location, and ask about the exact call and message allowance. For most people beginning a longer Vietnam trip at Hanoi airport, this is a practical, fairly priced way to get connected quickly.
