Which plan fits your trip
A week in Hanoi, Da Nang or Ho Chi Minh City: the 35 GB plan for 7 days. It costs ₹999.
Two weeks, or a trip that covers several cities: the 75 GB plan for 15 days. At ₹1,149 it works out cheaper per day than the 7-day plan.
A month or longer, or working remotely: the 150 GB plan for 30 days at ₹1,999.
Three things to know before you buy
- Daily limit. A fair usage policy applies: data usage stops after 5 GB in a calendar day, and it starts working again the next day. Plan big downloads and video calls with that in mind.
- Buy no earlier than 10 days before you travel. The eSIM must be purchased not more than 10 days before the date you intend to use it.
- Complete KYC. It is required before you use the eSIM, so do it before you fly.
