Subscribers of Vietnam Military Telecom Corporation (Viettel) get a prefix of 6 to their numbers, while users of Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) Telecom fixed line service are to add “2” to the beginning of their numbers.

Saigon Postel, FPT Telecom and Vietnam Data Communication Company (VTC)’s fixed phone numbers were preceded by 5, 7 and 4, respectively.
