I have an UNLIMITED DATA Viettel prepaid plan. Its 160k a month. Its pretty much data only however I can get and make calls. I can get texts but cannot send. Viettel is pretty much everywhere in Vietnam. 5G in all cities and in the country service is still quite good. Ive used between 10-15gb regularly per day and not run into any kind of data caps. When I travel I typically sync data with my dropbox server regularly and need a lot of data similar to you.

One word of advice I can give you working remotely in Vietnam is that its quite normal to spend half a day or so working in a coffee shop with great and fast wifi. I do that quite regularly when I travel although I do have an apartment in Saigon where I do most of my work.

Hello, don't worry about prices, you can find a prepaid with 500gb/30days for less than $15. Viettel and Mobifone are the best. If you want to use your roaming-phonenumber, sometimes one or the other works depending the zone you are. Weird behaviour, with Mobifone I couldnt get roaming connection in Gia Lai, but it works fine in main cities.

What you should take care is about where your storage is located.聽 If your storage is at your company's building in Sri Lanka or USA, you must know the connection has a bottleneck to some countries and the throughput is under 3Mbps with latencies rounding 300ms.聽 In my personal experience I download 10Gb in 4 hours to my home (128mbps) from my endpoint in San Diego, LA, 320mbps. (you know the difference between mpbs and Mbps)

If you use cloud services from Google Drive or MS Onedrive, the issue is less maddening聽 because their mirrors are in Singapore and 10Gb are downloaded in 1 hour

If you鈥檙e traveling in Vietnam, I recommend using a mobile SIM card with a 30-day data package to stay connected to your work on the go. For reliable internet access, hotels, homes, and caf茅s offer fast Wi-Fi鈥攐ften quicker than what you鈥檇 find in your home country.

Hi, thank you very much for the reply.

Can you please tell me the name of the package if you know it? I think this will work if I can download large files and it doesn't have data caps.

Hey yeah, last year I stayed in Saigon for 3 months and I visited several coffee shops. I like the O'Hara Kafe.

@ajairon

Hi, thanks a lot for the helpful reply!

I mostly download raw footage from Brandfolder (a DAM platform), but I鈥檓 not sure where their servers are located.

Right now, I can usually download 10GB in under 30 minutes, so I鈥檓 curious to see how that will change in Vietnam. I really appreciate the heads-up about the possible bottlenecks and latency issues.

I will definitely check out Viettel and Mobifone SIMs. Thanks again for the insights : )

@Contem talk

Hi, thanks for replying!

Yeah, I鈥檓 planning to book a few coworking spaces just in case of emergencies, but I鈥檓 really hoping the SIM will be enough so I can stay flexible and travel freely. Appreciate the tip!

@MaxG96

I dont know the name of the package. They gave me a bunch of options and I picked one of the unlimited plans they had. Price may be higher now as I think thats how it generally works.

@MaxG96

Scroll down to "Service Plans". Then, arrow-right to N300-CD (12gb/day, 300K VND/month). Continue arrow-right for higher plans.

Hope that helps.

@jrharvey

Hey no worries, I will check this at their store. Thanks

HI Aidan, Thanks for the link. It has what I need. You are a lifesaver!

The biggest one I found is the 12MFV at Mobifone. 400gb/month + free YouTube and Facebook.

But is an annual subscription of 3,000,000 vnd.

Whatever anyone chooses, be aware that total AMOUNT of data allowed doesn't necessarily mean sustained top SPEEDS

Good point.

Also, I'll add that Viettel has a history of discontinuing specific services plans while continuing to promote them on their website.

@berpasfrvn

If I can get this for like 3 months or sth, that would be great. but I will check. Thanks

@OceanBeach92107

Yeah, Thanks. I will keep that in mind : )

@Aidan in HCMC

I also saw this. Thanks Aidan. I will go there next week and check.
