How to verify eSIM support on your device

1. iPhone: Settings → Cellular → look for "Add eSIM" or "Add Cellular Plan". You can also dial *#06# , if you see an "EID" (32-digit number), your phone has eSIM hardware.
2. Android: Settings → Connections (or Network & Internet) → SIM Cards → look for "Download a SIM instead" or "Add eSIM".
3. EID check: most eSIM-capable Android phones show EID in Settings → About Phone → Status.

Tip: Even if your phone supports eSIM hardware, it must be unlocked (not carrier-locked) to use third-party eSIMs like eSIM Scout. Most phones bought outright are unlocked; phones from carrier instalment plans may require unlocking after the contract is paid off.

Almost every flagship smartphone released since 2019 supports eSIM, making it ideal for international travel. Compatible models include iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, plus a growing list of mid-range devices. If your phone has Settings → Cellular → "Add eSIM", you're ready to use a eSIM Scout plan abroad.

Travellers benefit most from eSIM because it eliminates the airport SIM-card queue, removes the need to swap your home SIM out, and lets you keep your usual phone number active for SMS verification. A eSIM Scout travel eSIM activates the moment you land , no shop visit required.

Tidak, internet terbuka! Ini adalah kesalahpahaman umum. Berbeda dengan Tiongkok, Vietnam tidak memiliki "Tembok Api Besar". Anda dapat dengan bebas mengakses Google, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok, dan semua aplikasi favorit Anda tanpa memerlukan VPN. eSIM kami memberi Anda akses tak terbatas dan berkecepatan tinggi ke internet terbuka. 

 Paket khusus ini hanya berlaku di Vietnam. Ini adalah pertanyaan paling penting bagi backpacker. Jika Anda berada di "Banana Pancake Trail" dan melintasi perbatasan ke Kamboja atau Laos, koneksi Anda akan terhenti. Untuk perjalanan multi-negara yang lancar, kami sangat merekomendasikan eSIM Regional Asia kami, yang mencakup Vietnam, Kamboja, Thailand, dan Laos dalam satu paket. 

Ya, tapi bervariasi. Anda akan mendapatkan jangkauan 4G/LTE yang sangat baik di semua kota (Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, Da Nang) dan kota kecil. Di kapal pesiar Ha Long Bay, sinyalnya kuat saat berada di dekat pantai namun bisa terputus-putus atau lambat saat berlayar jauh ke dalam karst batu kapur. Untuk daerah pegunungan seperti Sapa dan Ha Giang Loop, Anda akan mendapatkan sinyal yang bagus di kota-kota namun akan menghadapi zona mati saat berkendara di jalur pegunungan terpencil. 

 Untuk memberi Anda jangkauan terbaik di negara yang panjang dan sempit ini, eSIM kami terhubung ke penyedia tingkat atas, biasanya Viettel atau Vinaphone. Viettel secara luas dianggap sebagai jaringan terbaik (seperti jaringan militer) dengan jangkauan paling luas, terutama di daerah pedesaan dan pegunungan, sehingga memastikan Anda tetap terhubung ketika jaringan lain tidak berfungsi. 

Ya, tentu saja. Grab adalah "aplikasi super" penting di Vietnam untuk memesan layanan pemesanan kendaraan (mobil dan sepeda motor) dan pesan-antar makanan. eSIM kami menyediakan data yang cepat dan berlatensi rendah, yang sangat penting untuk memesan Grab dari bandara (Hanoi - NOI atau Ho Chi Minh - SGN), melacak pengemudi Anda secara real-time, dan menggunakan Google Maps untuk menavigasi jalanan yang ramai. 

 Sebagian besar ponsel modern memilikinya, namun Anda harus memeriksa daftar spesifik kami di sini: Perangkat yang Kompatibel dengan eSIM untuk memastikan 100% sebelum membeli. 

Anda akan mendapatkan sinyal 4G untuk sebagian besar perjalanan pesisir antara Hanoi dan Kota Ho Chi Minh, namun kemungkinan koneksi akan terputus di terowongan atau bagian terpencil di dekat Hai Van Pass. 

Ya. Cakupan yang kuat di Can Tho dan di atas air di Pasar Terapung Cai Rang, memungkinkan Anda berbagi foto penjual perahu secara instan. 

Biasanya Anda akan mendapat sinyal di pusat pengunjung dan pintu masuk Gua Surga atau Gua Phong Nha, namun jangkauan secara alami akan hilang begitu Anda masuk jauh ke bawah tanah. 

Ya. Cakupan sangat baik di Kota Kuno Hoi An yang ramah pejalan kaki, yang penting untuk menggunakan aplikasi terjemahan dengan penjahit lokal atau menemukan tempat banh mi terbaik.
