Internet and electricity

Vietnam is located in the Indochina Time Zone (ICT), GMT+6 in the summer or GMT + 7 in the winter due to daylight savings. The country operates on a 220-volt electricity supply and typically uses either round or flat two-pronged plugs.

Wireless internet is widely available in cafes, restaurants, and hotels throughout Vietnam. The country also has one of the lowest telephone rates in the world, with local SIM cards available for as low as VND100,000 (US$4.40).
