Fredrik45 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Hello there, I am planning to visit Laos in September-October this year. I was wondering if it is easy for a traveller to buy a local SIM? What is the best mobile network in Laos? Are data packages expensive? I am hesitating to activate my roaming service from Oz or use the local network. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunglom Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) I had no problem getting SIMs in Laos - I've used , Lao Telecom and I think the other was Unitel. I also used a mobile phone shop. coverage with Lao telecom was pretty good and there rates were similar to Thailand I got my SIM fitted and sorted at there headquarters in Vientiane - they were very helpful. I also used there office in Savannakhet. Edited July 9, 2022 by Thunglom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John28 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 You can book a sim card before your departure and have it delivered to your hotel or airbnb in Vientiane and Luang Prabang. There is an online service for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
