How to call Vietnam from the US
Vietnam reformed its national numbering plan in 2018 to standardise mobile prefixes, and the change still trips up people calling from the US. Mobile numbers are now uniformly 10 digits starting with 3, 5, 7, 8, or 9 – older 11-digit numbers have been migrated. Landlines use 2-digit area codes for major cities (24 for Hanoi, 28 for Ho Chi Minh City) followed by a 7- or 8-digit subscriber number. As with most countries, drop any leading 0 you see in local notation and dial +84 from outside.
The Vietnamese diaspora in California, Texas, and Washington is one of the largest in the US, and weekend calls home are a major use case for Phonecall. Because credit doesn't expire, families typically top up once or twice a year and use it across Tết calls, birthday calls, and the occasional school-fee discussion. Per-second billing makes short check-ins genuinely cheap – a five-minute call costs five minutes, not ten.
Vietnam's country calling code is +84. From the US, dial + 84 + area code or mobile prefix + number (drop the leading 0). Mobile numbers are 10 digits starting with 3, 5, 7, 8, or 9. Major landline area codes: 24 (Hanoi), 28 (Ho Chi Minh City), 236 (Da Nang).

Frequently asked questions about calling Vietnam
My relative still has an old 11-digit Vietnamese mobile – does that work?
Most 11-digit Vietnamese mobile numbers were migrated to 10 digits between 2018 and 2019, so the old format usually won't connect. Ask the recipient to share the current 10-digit number (starting with 3, 5, 7, 8, or 9 after the country code) and dial that. If you only have the old format, the new number is usually the old one minus a digit from the prefix.
