How to Register a Viettel Data Plan — 3 Steps

No app required. No store visit. Works 24/7 from any phone. Note that Viettel confirmation replies are typically in Vietnamese — you may need to translate the response.

Step 1
Check your balance and top up if needed.
Text TK to 191 (free) to see your current balance. Top up at any convenience store, ATM, or via MoMo / ZaloPay (both support English interfaces).
Step 2
Send the registration SMS to 290.
Open your Messages app → type PLAN_NAME VTX → send to 290.
Example: type SD90 VTX and send to 290. SMS to 290 is typically free for plan registration.
Step 3
Receive confirmation — data is usually active within 1–2 minutes.
Viettel sends a confirmation SMS from 290 (in Vietnamese). Your data should start shortly after. To verify remaining data: text KTTK to 191.

The space and VTX code are required: SD90 VTX ✓ — not just SD90 alone. Plans auto-renew each cycle by default. To cancel auto-renewal before the next cycle: text HUY PLAN_NAME to 191, then confirm with Y to 191.

If registration does not succeed: Your SIM may not be eligible for that specific plan, or your balance may be insufficient. In most cases, no fee is charged when registration fails. Try SD90 as a widely available basic option, or contact ViettelData.vn support at Zalo 0966 48 2424 for help identifying a compatible plan for your SIM.

Find the Right Plan for Your Situation

New to Vietnam / Short Stay

Just arrived or staying a few months
Recommended: SD90 or V120B
SD90 (90,000đ) is a safe starting point — widely available across most Viettel SIMs, 1.5GB/day. V120B adds 50 free minutes to other networks if you need to make local calls.

Living & Working Long-term

1 year or more in Vietnam
Recommended: 12T5G125 (if SIM eligible)
Register once, valid for a 12-month cycle. 500GB/month — no monthly admin. Requires SIM activated from May 1, 2025. If your SIM does not qualify, consider 5G150 (universal, no SIM date restriction) or 5GMAX200 for a monthly high-data plan.

Heavy Data User

Streaming, video calls, hotspot
Recommended: 5G150N, 5G150, or 5GMAX200
5G150N (8GB/day) and 5G150 (6GB/day) both cover 4K streaming, Teams calls, and laptop hotspot. 5G150 works without SIM date restrictions. 5GMAX200 offers the highest priority bandwidth if speed matters most.

Business / Frequent Calls

Need both stable data and voice minutes
Recommended: 5G230B or 5G160B
5G230B: 8GB/day 5G + 150 free minutes to other networks (230,000đ/month). 5G160B: 4GB/day 5G + 1,000 min Viettel calls + 100 min other (160,000đ/month). Both suit managers and business owners.

FAQ — Foreigners Using Viettel in Vietnam

I already have a Viettel SIM. What do I need to do to get mobile data?

Make sure your SIM has sufficient balance (text TK to 191 to check), then text PLAN_NAME VTX to 290. For example: SD90 VTX to 290. Registration typically completes within 1–2 minutes.

What is the difference between 4G and 5G plans?

The registration process is the same for both. 5G plans (5G135N, 5G150N, 5G150…) generally offer more data per day but some require a SIM activated in 2025. A 4G phone can register 5G plans and will run at its maximum 4G speed — you get the full data allowance.

How do I know if my SIM can use 5G plans?

Text 5G to 191 (free). Viettel will reply with your SIM's eligibility status. If your SIM does not qualify for 5G plans, SD90 and 5G150 are widely available alternatives that do not require a specific SIM activation date.

Will I be charged extra if I run out of data mid-day?

In general, when you reach your daily data limit, internet access stops and no extra charges are added. However, always check the specific terms of your plan when registering, as conditions may vary.

Can I use my Viettel plan when travelling outside Vietnam?

Domestic data plans listed here apply within Vietnam only. For international travel, Viettel offers separate roaming packages. Call 18008168 or visit a Viettel store before your trip to arrange roaming.

Is the 12-month plan worth it for long-term residents?

For most foreigners staying a year or more, annual plans offer a cost-efficient option and remove the need for monthly renewal. 12T5G125 provides 500GB/month for a 12-month cycle. Note it requires a SIM activated from May 1, 2025 — check eligibility before registering. If your SIM is older, consider 5G150 or 5G150N as monthly alternatives.

How do I check my remaining data and account balance?

Text KTTK to 191 for remaining data. Text TK to 191 for account balance. Both are free. Replies are typically in Vietnamese — use a translation app if needed. You can also check via the My Viettel app.

How do I stop a plan from renewing automatically?

Text HUY PLAN_NAME to 191, then confirm by texting Y to 191. Example: HUY SD90 → 191. Your current plan continues until its cycle ends, then does not renew. No cancellation penalty.
