As an expat who moved to Cambodia, tele communication is the essential thing. Today, CAM Realty will guide you how to get a SIM Card for you to use in many ways of communication no matter call, sms, or internet.
The main Cambodian cell companies are Cellcard, Smart, Metfone and Seatel. These companies provide you a very convenient way to get their SIM Card. Some companies give you a free SIM card and you just top up the amount of balance according to their package. All of these companies, you can find it everywhere, especially at the Phnom Penh International Airport when you arrive at the terminal, you will see it in front of you. It’s necessary for you to buy there if you don’t know anyone in Cambodia. Because it can help you to call a taxi, tuk tuk or use the internet to book Grab or Passapp.
According to the website Along Dusty Roads, here is the SIM card price of each company.
All offer 4G LTE coverage, a really decent amount of data, and the SIM card is included for free. From traveller reviews, network coverage from all of the companies is pretty similar in the destinations which travellers will visit on a 2-3 week Cambodia itinerary (article coming soon, promise).
Note that all prices are in USD.
Their main tourist SIM card pack costs $6 and provides 5 GB data per day plus $50 worth of calls per day – these allowances only last for 7 days. If staying for longer than 7 days, you would have to top up with a data bundle for $2-$10. During our visit to the airport, they did not offer any better bundle than this one.
The advertised Smart Traveller SIM airport deal was $6 for 21 GB data for 7 days. Their standard offering is better however at $3 for 25GB across 7 days, $5 for 35GB across 15 days, or $10 for 60GB across 30 days – view here.
The Phnom Penh airport SIM card deals were $5 for 40 GB data for 7 days; $7 for 40 GB data for 14 days; $12 for 100 GB data for 30 days.
The Mobile Tourist Pass bundles are $3 for 3 days of unlimited data ; $5 for 5 days of unlimited data; $10USD for 10 days of unlimited data. However, these only include $0.5, $1, and $2.5 of non-internet calls for the period.
