What the community said

There's a Viettel SIM option for 3 months upfront with a 6 GB/day plan — cost about 405k VND for the plan plus around 100k VND for the physical SIM itself. The traveler notes an eSIM might be cheaper.

Official Viettel stores can be found via Google Maps — usually no queues and guaranteed authenticity. After a month on the 180k VND / 6 GB per day plan, you can switch to the cheaper 90k VND / 1.5 GB per day plan yourself through Viettel's official website.

Another Trip.com eSIM option: a 20-day plan with 5 GB/day at full speed (throttled afterward), costing around 700 RUB. Registration was done before departure, so internet worked immediately upon arrival in Da Nang.
