eSIM Camboja

You buy it online here, before you fly. Pick a plan, pay with your usual card, and the QR code and install link arrive by email in minutes. You scan it at home on Wi-Fi. There is nothing to collect at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airport and no stall to find.

Yes. Cambodian networks carry eSIM, and this profile roams onto Metfone as a foreign line. Recent iPhone, Pixel and Galaxy models handle it. Arrive at Phnom Penh's airport or Siem Reap-Angkor and you are typically online while you are still walking towards the visa desk.

That depends on the data and the days you book. The price table above on this page shows each plan with its amount in your own currency before you buy, prepaid and with nothing billed afterwards. The plan simply ends when the days are up, it does not renew on its own.

The network is the same, the paperwork is not. This line rides on Metfone, but you never enter a Metfone shop, never hand over a passport copy and never queue at a counter to pay in cash. You buy in your own currency, in your own language, from home before the flight.

Metfone, and there is nothing to pick. The phone registers on it by itself once data roaming is on for the Simbye line, with no APN to enter and no app to open first. If the bar stays empty, switch airplane mode on, count to ten, and switch it off again.

Not with this line. Cambodia checks device serial numbers before a local operator connects a handset, and that process runs through Cambodian SIM cards and Cambodian shops. Your eSIM roams onto Metfone as a foreign profile, so no local file is opened and there is nothing for you to do on arrival.

No, this is a data plan without a +855 number. Your usual number keeps ringing on your normal SIM for family and app codes, and WhatsApp calls run over the data. Apps that text a Cambodian code to sign you up will not reach you on this line.

Partly, and it is worth planning for. The boat crossings from Sihanoukville drop out mid-channel, and on the quieter beaches of Samloem, Lazy Beach and Sunset Beach among them, you should expect to be offline. Download your maps, tickets and booking confirmations before you step onto the ferry.

Yes, the whole Angkor park holds up, including Ta Prohm and out at Banteay Srei, and Siem Reap itself is well covered. The quiet stretches come on the remote temple runs to Preah Vihear and Koh Ker, and far out on the Tonle Sap among the floating villages.

Inland and uphill. The Cardamom Mountains, the red roads through Mondulkiri and Ratanakiri, and Virachey National Park all have long quiet stretches. Phnom Penh, Battambang and the coast around Sihanoukville, Kampot and Kep are solid, so most itineraries only lose the connection for a few hours at a time.

With your first connection inside Cambodia, not at purchase. That lets you install the eSIM days before departure at home on Wi-Fi without burning a single day. From that first registration the days of the plan run through continuously, however much or little data you actually use.

No, this one is written for Cambodia and stops at the border, because the profile is only cleared for Cambodian networks. If your trip runs overland through several countries, take a plan that lists all of them instead of buying a separate eSIM at every crossing.

Around 300 to 500 MB a day if you mostly run Maps, a ride app and messengers between Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Angkor. Uploading temple photos and stories takes you closer to 1 GB a day. Video calls, streaming on a night bus or tethering a laptop can double that again. Beach days use less, because the islands drop out anyway.

Best comes down to your route, how much data you use and how many days you are there. This one sits on Metfone, which holds in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Battambang, the coast around Sihanoukville and Kampot, and across the whole Angkor park. It is data only, so no Cambodian number for calls. Boat crossings to Koh Rong stay offline on any plan.
