E-SIM is a small chip digitally embedded in your phone instead of  inserting a physical SIM card. The eSIM activates the same way as a traditional SIM card by installing an eSIM through the QR code. 

There are two kinds of eSIM, which are:

• Data eSIM, and
• Voice, SMS, and Data eSIM.

There are several Vietnam eSIM providers on the market, but niniluongtravelservices.com has the best packages on offer. We are the single provider that provides you with eSIM data plans coming with a Vietnamese phone number.
