yea man. i read that it is very difficult to convert Dong back to other currencies. so better don't change your money all to dong at once, unless you really need to.

in ho chi minh, it ok to change btw diff currencies at airport, eg: dong to sgd..

but in hanoi...they only change other currencies for dong, eg: usd, sgd to dong...but not the other way round.....only v few jewellery shops will change....

np. gd to take note, coz in hanoi, short of $$$ and went so many banks as we walk along the streets...no bank can change....eventually referred us to a jewellery shop....found it but in the end never change coz plans changed....

still, we change with own hotel in the end....1:13000....


but in ho chi minh, money changers, banks, atms are plenty....any currencies to dong and vice versa no problem.....

Many banks tht only change for dong, atm nt plenty in streets of hanoi also. I seriously dun recall passby one!

Or i could haf missed out like a blind man? Haha. Nt like singapore here, outside banks sure got atms.

Changed w/ hotel, min sgd$20, 1:13000.

not to forget....even the changers at hanoi airport also dun change other curriencies...only change for dong....so u cannot use sgd change to usd for example...

I'll be going to HCMC this coming Wednesday.

Planning to use my Blackberry there and I was wondering if there is any prepaid SIM card that allows Blackberry Usage? (e.g BBM, Surfing the web etc.)

Many thanks!

 

[MrTheROCK]

mobiphone or vinaphone prepaid cards are good. i used mobiphone when i was there.

Suppose you want 3G or at least GPRS, any prepaid card can be used: Mobifone, Viettel, Vinaphone. 100K VND (8 SGD) enough for you to check mail, surf light web for a few days.

You can ask the seller enable the plan for you, there are some data plans like per day, per week etc which can save you a lot if you use too much.

If you want to do it yourself then this is the link

Sorry VNese only but you can guess. No too much difficult.
Hope it help.
