Calling Vietnam from United States: what to know

Vietnam answers on the country code +84, with the capital in Hanoi and most business concentrated around Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Da Nang. The working language for business is Vietnamese, and local offices generally keep hours of 8:00 to 17:30 with a long lunch 11:30 to 13:30. Many offices observe a nap break.

From United States the outbound access code is 011, so a manual dial reads 011 then +84 then the local number. Intercalling removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between United States and Vietnam.

Most mobiles in Vietnam sit on operators such as Viettel, Vinaphone (VNPT), MobiFone. Vietnam restructured all mobile prefixes in 2018 to 0120-series became 070-079, 0121 became 079, etc. Older databases may have outdated prefixes.

Vietnam runs on UTC plus 7, and it does not observe daylight saving, so the time difference stays constant through the year.
