A Vietnam eSIM works on a compatible, carrier-unlocked iPhone. The exact model and sales region matter because not every iPhone variant has the same SIM capabilities.
Quick answer: Confirm compatibility, install the profile on Wi-Fi before travel and label it “Vietnam Data.” In Vietnam, select it for Cellular Data, enable Data Roaming and turn off Cellular Data Switching.
