Vinaphone to deploy eSIM service in Vietnam

Vietnamese mobile operator VinaPhone has announced it is working with partners to select technical options to use eSIM for VinaPhone subscribers. More about Vietnam esim ofers below.

At present, 10 countries offer eSIM support, including the US, UK, Austria, Canada, Croatia, Czech, Germany, Hungary, India and Spain.

According to Vinaphone, there is currently no mobile network operator offering eSIM support in Vietnam.

From the end of January 2019, its customers were able to pre-order eSIM at the website https://esim.vinaphone.com.vn/.

These people will receive the new eSIM free of charge and with the highest priority. At the moment, eSIM can be used on certain versions of iPhone like XS, XS Max and iPhone XR that support eSIM, all of which require iOS 12.1 or later.

Viettel stated that its first 2019 customers can change from the current SIM to the new eSIM free of charge. After that, it will launch the transformation publicly.

At the moment, Viettel only delivers eSIM in its shops which open even on Tet holiday.

It will soon support online registration for new eSIMs or changing from existing physical SIMs to eSIMs. This means instead of visiting a shop to obtain a physical SIM, Viettel’s customers will be able to subscribe on the Internet and receive a QR code with a phone number, followed by the activation step via any camera app or QR code scanner app.
