Traveling to Vietnam in HCMC Unlocked Phone/Sim Question [closed] - Woman Pulling Luggage Bag While Walking Toward Building

Would like to communicate while there for 2 weeks AND take quality pictures w/o breaking bank.

What should I use? SimCards? I currently have ATT.



Best Answer

First thing is to check to make sure your phone will work overseas. The USA uses different frequencies for voice calls than Asia, but the phones they market as "tri-band", "quad-band" or "international" will work outside the states. Many of the newer smart phones and phablets already cover the full spectrum, but check to be sure.

Then pick up a pre-paid SIM with a data package when you arrive in HCMC. Data roaming on ATT will be expensive. I am not up to date on the best packages currently offered, perhaps someone else will jump in with specific company recommendations.
