    I was over there until December and couldn't use my Vodafone sim card to text/call home. I ended up just buying local sim cards anyway.

    Just as I was about to leave Thailand I got a text saying use the code 001353 though. Might be the same for Vietnam.

    I recently traveled around Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos with a few mates and had no problems getting reception with 02 (when I rang them before I left I was told I would probably have no reception in Laos & Cambodia, had no trouble though). My phones nothing special, nokia 6100 - bout 3 yrsa old.

    My mates are on Vodafone and Meteor and had pretty much nothing reception wise (Vodafone were ok in Thailand, Meteor drew a complete blank). Hope it helps.

    Cheers

    Going to Thailand soon so will try there as not working in Vietnam so have to use vodafone online

    And for anyone thinking of buying a phone in Hong Kong or Vietnam you get better value at home even in China they were expensive. Was some copies but did not risk it

    Maybe more up to date phones but going to wait until I get back home and will post for views later

    most likely VF dont ahve a RTG roaming agreement with the operator so you wont be able to send any SMS, bill pay would be fine
