I’m going to Vietnam for 3 weeks should I buy this T-Mobile international plan for $50 or is it cheaper to get a ESIM at the airport when I arrive over there?

   My T-Mobile plan includes international data and texting. Check what is included in yours first. That said, I live in Thailand and it is great here. It was terrible in Saigon, so I bought an eSIM for my time there after 2 days of painfully slow internet.

   You need to make sure that your phone is unlocked first so that you can use the esims. Surprisingly, if you bought your phone from t mobile, it is still kinda “locked” into their network. You can easily do it online or call and ask them to unlock it for you.

   Look at the app Airalo. We bought it before we came out and we have found it brilliant.

   T-Mobile good to use in Vietnam, don’t have to buy $50 plan unless you want to make phone call during the trip

   To be honest, T-Mobile not good in Vietnam like they said. And the eSIM in the airport are expensive than others outside even though it the same company. If you need internet to get a grab go for the eSIM in the airport but only one is enough. Your friend or fam can get it outside at MobiFone or Viettel or VinaPhone with a passport for about $10 for 8GB a day.
