Vietnam
 

Does anyone have any recent experience with wireless services in Vietnam? There seems to be three GSM carriers but only one has a website in anything but Vietnamese.

All in English :D

I'm considering a very brief stop there and doubt that there would be any reason for me to get a VN prepaid. So far, Celtrek looks to have the best roaming deal. I don't know if any of the local carriers offer temporary numbers like they do in Indonesia.

I know a number of vietnamese-americans that travel to vietnam. When I've asked them what do they get when they visit, the great majority tell me that they get VinaFone; only a couple have told me they get MobiFone
