There appear to be a number of different "packages"- but on recent trip it did not appear to be necessary to sign up to a particular package to gain data access. To turn data on you need to send "GPRS ON" to 333. To avoid blowing through your credit too quickly, you should then select a data plan. See Vinaphone Pre-Pay English for details of the settings, and of the different packages available. The "U1" package for 250MB/day cost approximately 50cents. You set this up by texting "U1 ON" to 888. You need to repeat this each day, although there were longer term packages available.
