No local Vietnamese number needed for Grab. Internet access is sufficient. Use hotel/cafe Wi-Fi to receive in-app driver communication after booking. Stay connected until arrival.
Vietnam Grab: Local Number Needed?
Grab in Vietnam? No local SIM needed. Just internet.
Used it loads of times. Wi-Fi is everywhere. Cafes, hotels, restaurants… even street vendors sometimes. Booked a Grab from a pho stall in Hanoi last May, cost like 30,000 VND. Easy peasy.
Just stick around where the Wi-Fi signal’s strong ’til your driver shows up. They’ll ping you in the app. Never had a problem.
Driver called me through the Grab app once. Hanoi again, July, heading to the Temple of Literature. Super helpful, ’cause my GPS was going wonky.
