eSIM guide

The best travel eSIM for Vietnam

Vietnam is where Australian travel is growing fastest, and it is one of the cheaper places to buy mobile data — a 10GB month runs from $12.90. It is also a destination where two of the five providers have stopped selling fixed-data plans altogether.

What a 10GB month costs in Vietnam

Same plan, same duration, five sellers. USD, checked 1 September 2026.

Ubigi$12.90 cheapest
Nomad$17
Saily$17.99
Airalono fixed-data plans
Holaflyno fixed-data plans

Holafly sells no fixed-data plans anywhere — its 30-day unlimited plan is $73.90, which is a different product and so is not plotted on the same scale.

Our pick for Vietnam

Ubigi

Ubigi at $12.90 for 10GB over 30 days is the cheapest verified plan here, with Nomad at $17 on sale. Holafly charges $73.90 for a month in one of the cheapest data markets in Asia — Vietnam is the clearest illustration of what flat global pricing costs you.

Every verified plan

Prices in US dollars, read off each provider’s own page. Where we could not confirm a price, we say so rather than estimate.

ProviderFixed data plans (USD)Unlimited (USD)
Saily1GB/7d $3.99 · 3GB/30d $7.99 · 5GB/30d $10.99 · 10GB/30d $17.99 · 20GB/30d $28.99Not verified
Saily sells an unlimited plan here at $48.99, but its page shows a 5–30 day selector and rendered only that one price — we could not confirm which duration it buys, so we are not publishing a per-duration figure.
AiraloNo fixed-data plans — unlimited only
Airalo displayed no fixed-data plans for Vietnam on any page we checked. An aggregator lists some, but we could not confirm them on Airalo's own site, so they are not here.

Ubigi's Vietnam listing page quotes higher prices than its own product pages — $20 rather than $12.90 for the 10GB month. We use the product pages. Two plans advertised on the listing page return 404 and appear discontinued.
7d $24 · 15d $39.90 · 30d $54.90
Ubigi's unlimited plans carry their own fair-use caps: 20GB on 7 days, 30GB on 15, 60GB on 30.
