Hi Guys

Im moving to Hanoi in february and are staying there for 6 month. Do you know if it is possible to get a Vietnamese nano sim card or do i have to convert a mini into a nano?
Can you also tell me which telephone company is the best/cheapest?

Regards
Henrik

Th Version 5 has official arrived at VNPT (full country coverage) and Viettel and both are equipped with all the necessary things.

HOWEVER, VNPT no longer unlocks iPhones, something about honour amongst thieves telephone companies. They will direct you to a store that legally unlocks the beastie, without jail breaking.

The store will get your serial, etc., then order the number. It takes 2-3 days to get it.

After they unlock your cell, ask them for the number, so you can unlock it in the future.
