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.

GPS and other navigation applications

Restaurants, hotels and other recommendation applications
