Airport SIM handover in Vietnam

Your customers get their SIM
the moment they land.

You have travellers about to land. We reserve the exact SIM for each of them and handle the handover at the airport — we never sell SIM cards, and never touch your customers.

How it works

Four steps. Nobody types anything.

01

Send your SIMs ahead

Every serial is scanned in and confirmed on arrival. Any discrepancy shows immediately.

02

Customer buys on your site

Your API pushes the order. One specific SIM is locked to that customer.

03

Customer shows a code

The screen names the exact SIM to hand over. The wrong one cannot be picked.

04

You get a webhook

With the real serial that was handed over. Reconciliation is open, no need to ask anyone.

Our role

We are not your competitor.

These four are structural facts about the system — things you can verify, not promises.

✓
No retail channel No consumer app, no cart, no list price. There is no path through which we could sell to your customers.
✓
The SIMs are yours You ship your own stock to the airport. We do not buy, hold inventory, or set prices.
✓
Your identity stays inside The handover point sees a four-character alias — PT 7K2M. No company name, no phone number.
✓
We hold nothing to reach your customers with The system stores no end-customer phone numbers. There is nothing to contact them with later.

At the airport your customer is collecting, not shopping.

They paid you before boarding. All that is left is handing over the SIM already reserved for them.

What stops an order being swapped

Not a promise — promises cannot be verified. Structure:

Payment is already taken. The traveller arrives carrying a collection code, not a buying decision.

Each order locks one specific SIM. “Any one of them” is not an option — the screen names the serial reserved for that customer.

A wrong handover breaks the count. Every SIM carries its own state. Hand over a different one and the stock no longer reconciles — you see it the same day.

The record cannot be edited. Every scan is logged. You can reconcile down to the individual serial.

And you can check it yourself

Open any order and press “What the handover point sees” — a two-column table appears: your data, and exactly what reaches the screen at the airport.

FAQ

Questions resellers ask

Do you sell SIM cards?

No. We have no retail storefront, no consumer app, and no SIM price listed anywhere. Our revenue is a fee per successful handover — we earn more when you sell more.

Which airports are covered?

Tan Son Nhat (SGN) in Ho Chi Minh City and Noi Bai (HAN) in Hanoi. Other airports open on demand — if you have steady volume at an airport not listed, write to us.

Who supplies the SIMs?

You do. You buy from your own carrier or distributor at your own price and ship to the airport. We do not purchase stock, hold inventory, or influence your pricing.

How is this different from eSIM?

eSIM needs no delivery, but it only works on recent, carrier-unlocked handsets. A large share of travellers still need a physical SIM. We cover that group. If you serve both, eSIM goes out by email and physical SIM comes through here; the two do not conflict.

What if the wrong SIM is handed over?

The screen names the exact serial reserved for that order. If a different serial is scanned, the mismatch is flagged on the spot. If it is handed over anyway, the day's stock no longer reconciles and you see it — nobody can edit the record.

What if the customer never shows up?

The SIM stays reserved for that order. When the hold expires it returns to usable stock, with a log entry. You set the hold period.

What if the customer changes flight or airport?

Edit it directly in the admin screen. Over the API, cancel the order and create a new one — the API deliberately has no update call, because mutating an order that already holds a SIM is where two orders end up claiming the same SIM. Cancelling releases the SIM immediately.

How is it priced?

A fee per successful handover. No setup fee, no monthly fee. No-shows are not charged. Write to admin@simpickup.com for volume pricing.

I sell Vietnam SIM cards online. How do my customers get them at the airport?

You ship your SIM stock to the airport in advance, then push each order to us by API the moment your customer pays. The system locks one specific serial to that order and issues a collection code. The traveller lands, shows the code, and receives the exact SIM reserved for them. You get a webhook with the real serial that was handed over. No manual step anywhere in the chain.

How long does it take to go live?

Sandbox keys are issued instantly on the docs page, with no approval queue. Integration usually takes one working day. Going live additionally requires your SIM stock to have reached the airport and been confirmed.

I run inbound tours. How do I get my guests a SIM the moment they land?

Ship your SIMs to the airport in advance, then push the group manifest to us — one order for the whole group, up to 50 SIMs. The system reserves that many and issues a collection code. On arrival the guide or each guest shows the code and collects. You receive a confirmation listing the real serials handed over.

We don't sell SIM cards, we just want guests connected. Does that fit?

It fits. Most tour operators use this as an inclusion rather than a revenue line. Whether you price it into the tour or give it away is entirely your call — we do not set the selling price.

What if the flight is delayed or the group shrinks?

The SIMs stay reserved for that order until the hold you set expires. For a smaller group, cancel and create a new order with the right count — the surplus returns to stock immediately, nothing is lost.

I'm meeting a group. How do I get them all a SIM on arrival?

Your company pushes one order for the whole group before the flight — up to 50 SIMs per order. The system reserves that many and issues a single collection code. You show that code at the airport, collect the batch, scan to confirm. You get the serial list to check on the spot.

I work freelance, not through an agency. Can I still use this?

Yes, but you still need a partner account to push orders and a source of SIM stock to send to the airport. Write to us and we'll explain how it works in your case.

What if the group lands late or is short a few people?

The SIMs stay reserved until the hold your company set expires. Any surplus returns to stock at that point, with a log entry — nobody loses anything.
