Is there truly unlimited mobile data in Vietnam?

TL;DR

True unlimited mobile data does not exist in Vietnam. After your data allowance runs out, speed drops to a low rate — this throttled access is what local carriers market as 'unlimited'.

Some offers exist with fixed pricing: 5GB/day usable anywhere in Vietnam for 200k VND; 'unlimited' data valid only within Da Nang for 200k VND; the same unlimited plan with calls included for 300k VND.

In Vietnam, 'unlimited' data from local carriers means throttled low-speed access after your main data package runs out — and only on select plans. There is no truly unlimited mobile internet in the conventional sense.

Vietnamese mobile carriers do not offer unlimited data plans. All tariffs include a daily data cap.

Mobile internet stability varies between Vietnamese carriers. The most widely used are Viettel, Vinaphone, and Mobifone. It's worth checking current coverage quality before buying a SIM.
