Viettel has the best reception in the country, followed by mobiphone.  Each carrier provides traditional choices in western countries. In addition, there is Oppo (Chinese knock off of Apple) with some affordable options.

Best thing to do is to pay off the old phone and get it unlocked. I did that for my iPhone and then bought a mobiphone SIM card. The transition was almost seamless.

Thanks for that.
Names duly noted.

Thanks for the advice.
Getting my phone unlocked is unfortunately not a cheap option; I've only recently signed to a new Plan, so buying something when I get there is next best choice.
I am considering re-locating early-mid next year, so a new phone will be good.

Cheers
