Browsing the web on your mobile device in Vietnam has now become more flexible. VinaPhone today launched its first unlimited daily web-browsing data plan in Vietnam.
Subscribers can pay as low as VND 2,000 a day to maximize their browsing experience with this plan, enjoying the unlimited web browsing via Opera Mini browser and free data for file downloading and video streaming under 15 MB. This enables VinaPhone users to access the web on their phones with total control over spending for mobile browsing.

Opera Mini is a fast, compact mobile browser, attracting more than 230 million people worldwide to get online, whether from their basic phones or high-end smartphones and tablets.
