Communications in Vietnam for foreign visitors

The national prefix for Vietnam is: 84 plus city code - Hanoi 04, Saigon (Ho Chi Minh) 08, Phan Thiet (Mui Ne) 062, Nha Trang 058, Dalat 063, Hoi An 0510, Danang 0511, Hue 054 (drop the first 0 when dialing from overseas of course). If your tourist destination did not list above, please check out these others Vietnamese city code here. Mobile coverage is pretty good, and the local operators have reciprocal arrangements with many international mobile companies.

The Vietnamese telephone system has been radically overhauled and expanded over the last decade, an is generally of a good quality, even in rural areas. International call charges however remain a little high. You can save significantly on international calls by using an 'internet phone' in the internet cafes, smart phone internet calling apps since the 3G has covered nation wide and wifi available at most coffee shop, restaurant, tourist destinations, or even sidewalk cafes for free.

Most hotels have International Direct Dialing (IDD) and more up-market operators provide fax facilities, sometime even in-room. Be warned - all will add a hefty surcharge to your bill. There are however a couple of low cost rate services. Dial 171 0r 178 before making international calls to significantly reduce rates to a pretty comprehensive range of countries.

Money Matters for Vietnam trips

The Vietnamese currency is the Dong (VND). Notes come in 200, 500; 1,000; 2,000; 5,000; 10,000; 20,000; 50,000; 100,000; 200,000; and 500,000 Dong denomination. The currency is being slowly devalued against the US dollar which will currently by around 21,000 Dong (Year 2013)

Dollars can also be exchanged for dong in banks, bank agencies currency shops, and along the street, though the latest is not advisable as customers are sometime cheated.

Traveler's cheques can be exchanged in most banks and a few hotels, but cash in US dollars is favoured. Credit cards are generally accepted only in western-oriented hotels, shop and restaurant in larher cities, yet cash machines (ATMs) are sprouting all over Vietnam, with many in the major cities.
