Dial Vietnam directly through your phone carrier using country code 84 — convenient, but international rates can add up fast.
Prepaid calling cards let you reach Vietnam at lower rates, though you'll juggle access numbers and PINs each time.
MeraTalk connects you to Vietnam over the internet with HD-clear audio, low rates, and no hardware to set up.
Dial 011, then 84, then the number, dropping the leading 0.
On a mobile you can replace the exit code with a + sign and dial +84 directly, which works from any country without knowing the local exit code.
Full dialing sequence
Start by dialing your own country's international access code. From the US or Canada this is 011; from most of Europe it's 00. This tells your network you're making an international call.
Immediately follow with Vietnam's country code — no spaces or dashes. This routes your call to Vietnam's telephone network. On smartphones, replace the exit code with a + sign.
Add the city or regional code for your destination in Vietnam. If the local number starts with a 0 (trunk prefix), drop it — the country code replaces it when dialing internationally.
Enter all remaining digits of the local number exactly as written. For mobile numbers, include every digit — no abbreviations. Press call and your carrier does the rest.
A strong, stable internet connection is the foundation of every clear call — use Wi-Fi or solid data whenever you can.
A quality headset sharpens both ends of the conversation, making your calls to Vietnam clearer and more comfortable.
Keep the time difference in mind — UTC+7 — so you reach people at a reasonable hour and not in the middle of the night.
The price of calling Vietnam swings widely depending on whether you use a carrier, a calling card, or VoIP — and VoIP usually wins.
How to get started with MeraTalk
Phone numbers in Vietnam follow set ranges after the 84 country code, distinguishing mobiles, landlines, and special services.
In Vietnam the prefix still identifies the network. All mobile numbers are ten digits.
+84 is Vietnam. A call showing +84 or 0084 comes from Vietnam, in Southeast Asia. The digits after the country code tell you what kind of number it is:
Vietnam uses separate emergency numbers rather than a single one: 113 police, 114 fire, 115 ambulance, 111 child protection, 112 search and rescue.
In 2018 Vietnam migrated every 11-digit mobile number to 10 digits. Numbers saved before then — in address books, on business cards, on websites — fail unless the prefix is updated:
Vietnamese area codes by city, with the full number as you dial it from abroad.
The leading 0 is a domestic trunk prefix and is dropped when dialling from abroad — a Hanoi number written 024 1234 5678 is dialled +84 24 1234 5678.
