If your phone supports Dual SIM, you can do:

🇫🇷 French SIM

  • French number
  • French bank
  • Important SMS
  • Existing accounts

🇻🇳 Vietnamese eSIM

  • Mobile internet
  • Vietnamese calls
  • Vietnamese SMS
  • Local services

This is probably one of the most convenient setups for long-term installation.

You do not need to give up your French number.
