Calling Vietnam — Things to Know
- Zalo is Vietnam's #1 messaging app — used by 85% of the population. It's a super-app handling messages, voice/video calls, payments, and government services. However, Zalo calls only work over internet, which can be unreliable in rural areas.
- Vietnam is 11–15 hours ahead of the US. The easiest overlap for calling is early morning US time (7–9 AM Eastern during EDT), which catches Vietnamese evenings (6–8 PM).
- BubblyPhone's rates start at $0.20/min — a fraction of AT&T ($3.00/min) and Verizon ($2.99/min) without a plan. You'd save over $28 on a single 10-minute call compared to those carriers.
- Vietnam has three major carriers — Viettel (56% market share, military-owned), VinaPhone (30%), and MobiFone (15%). Viettel leads 5G rollout with 15,000 planned base stations in 2026.
- The biggest calling period is Tet (Lunar New Year) — Vietnam's most important holiday with 9 days off (February 14–22 in 2026). Expect extremely high call volumes from the Vietnamese diaspora worldwide during Tet.
- BubblyPhone works from any web browser — no app download required. Also available on iOS and Android for calling on the go.
- Enable AI transcription ($0.02/min) to get a written record and summary of your call — available in English and Vietnamese.

What time should I call Vietnam?

No hidden fees with BubblyPhone. You pay the per-minute rate shown for your talk time, with no connection fee. The minimum top-up is $5 (about 23 minutes to Vietnam). Larger top-ups earn bonus credit: $20 gets $23, $50 gets $60, $100 gets $125.

Why not just use Zalo or Facebook Messenger to call Vietnam?

For calling landlines, reaching someone in rural areas with poor connectivity, or when you need guaranteed connection quality, BubblyPhone connects directly to any Vietnamese phone number via the telephone network.
Is Skype still available for calling Vietnam?
No — Skype was permanently shut down on May 5, 2025. Microsoft migrated users to Microsoft Teams, which does not offer affordable international PSTN calling to Vietnam. BubblyPhone is a reliable alternative with rates from $0.20/min.
Does BubblyPhone work for calling Vietnam from any country?
Yes — BubblyPhone works from any country with an internet connection. Whether you're in the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, or anywhere else, you can call Vietnam at the same competitive rates through the web app or mobile app.
