All toolsFrequently asked questions
What is the area code for Ho Chi Minh City?
The area code for Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam is 28. Calling from outside Vietnam, dial your exit code, then +84, then the area code without its trunk prefix, then the local number — written together as +84 28 followed by the subscriber number.
How do I call Ho Chi Minh City from abroad?
From the United States or Canada, dial 011 + 84 + 28 + the local number. From most of Europe and from a mobile anywhere, replace the exit code with 00 or simply press and hold 0 to enter a plus sign, which works from any country without knowing its exit code.
Do I drop the 0 when calling Ho Chi Minh City?
Yes. Vietnam uses 0 as a trunk prefix for domestic calls, so Ho Chi Minh City's code is written 28 locally and dialled as 28 from abroad. Keeping the trunk prefix in an international number is the single most common reason the call fails to connect.
How many digits is a Ho Chi Minh City phone number?
A full Vietnam number is 10 digits after the country code, area code included — for example +84 24 1234 5678. That length is fixed by the national numbering plan, so a number one digit short is a typo rather than a valid shorter number.
How much does it cost to call Ho Chi Minh City?
Calling a Ho Chi Minh City landline costs $0.65 a minute with Telvio and a mobile costs $0.65. Ten minutes to a landline is $6.50. Billing is per second with no connection fee, so a short call is charged for the seconds it used rather than rounded up to a whole minute.
