With the effort to popularize Roaming service, Viettel is currently the leading network operator in Roaming price incentives. Since 2017, following the trend of global networks, Viettel with the advantage of network infrastructure due to having member networks (Metfone in Cambodia, Unitel in Laos) has pioneered the implementation of the Roam like home policy (allowing users of 3 networks to use data, voice and SMS when roaming internationally between Vietnam - Laos - Cambodia at the same price), accordingly, voice price has decreased 14 times, data price has decreased up to 140 times. This is a breakthrough in bringing real benefits to users when using telecommunications services abroad on their own Viettel phone numbers.
In order to maximize customer benefits, from the end of 2023, Viettel has deployed the IRU unlimited Data Roaming package with a package price (Viettel Data Roaming Unlimited) in these two countries for only 25,000 VND/day with many options for usage time.
Not only providing unlimited data roaming packages in Indochina countries, Viettel also has a DRU package system - unlimited data roaming to 48 countries/territories for 50,000 VND/day. In addition, Viettel is currently the network operator with the widest data roaming package coverage of up to 130 countries/territories worldwide.
Viettel Marathon 2024, organized by Viettel Military Industry and Telecommunications Group in collaboration with the Asian Athletics Federation, the Athletics Federations of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, is an Asian-standard sporting event expected to attract 25,000 participants, held in 3 countries: Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.
