TL;DR

For a short trip, travelers suggest arranging a Viettel eSIM in advance through Trip.com, but phones without eSIM support will need a physical local SIM. For longer stays, get a Vietnamese SIM card in person using your passport.

For a longer stay in Da Nang, it is more practical to get a physical Vietnamese SIM after arrival; it is registered to the holder using a passport.

If your phone does not support eSIM, plan to buy a physical SIM in Vietnam. Buying one at Da Nang Airport was raised as an option, but no specific counter or package was confirmed.
