It is safer to buy the SIM at an official Viettel office: unofficial outlets may push plans at two to three times the normal price.

After activation, an SMS may ask you to verify your identity again. Not every branch can handle this, so check which office provides the verification.

A common three-month package costs about 400,000 VND for three months. You can later change the plan and pay through the Viettel app, so there is no need to accept a plan pushed at the point of sale.

If the seller offers prepayment for several months upfront and lets you choose your own phone number, a one-time price around 550,000 VND plus 180,000 VND for the plan is expected specifically because of those extra conditions.

If a shop pushes an expensive plan with mandatory 3-month prepayment and offers a custom phone number, decline and try a different Viettel office or another carrier instead — that's how to avoid overpaying.
