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?

   Always better to purchase a SIM locally. Does your T-Mobile plan not include international data? I get 5gb high-speed and unlimited basic data when traveling abroad, including VN

   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.

   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.

   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
