Vietnam Communications

International phone charges are steep in Vietnam and many hotels, especially up-market ones, add extra fees.

Faxes can be sent from hotels, business centers and post offices. Again, rates vary. To rent a mobile phone call 821-8465 in Hanoi or 824-2382 in Ho Chi Minh City.

A suggestion for making international calls is to log onto an internet phone provider before leaving home. There are also ones that have been recently set up in Vietnam.

Email and interent is readily available in almost every hotel. Although, a times it can be a little tempermental as the servers tend to be overloaded.
