See the plansWhy an eSIM for Cambodia
Cambodia is built around the temples of Angkor: Angkor Wat at sunrise, the world's largest religious monument, the jungle-strangled ruins of Ta Prohm, and the giant stone faces of the Bayon. Most travelers base in Siem Reap and spend days among the ruins, and an eSIM keeps maps, tuk-tuk apps, and translation live the moment you land, on one plan across the whole country.
You buy the data before you fly, pay from your crypto balance with no ID, and keep your home number on its own SIM. Coverage is good in Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, and across most of the Angkor park, so download offline maps for the remote countryside and the islands.
- One plan for Angkor, Phnom Penh, and the southern coast.
- Good across most of the Angkor temple park around Siem Reap.
- Connect on arrival at Siem Reap or Phnom Penh.
- Pay in crypto with no ID, and keep your home number.

Coverage and networks in Cambodia
Depending on the plan, your eSIM connects to a major Cambodian network such as Cellcard, Smart, or Metfone. Coverage is strong in Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, and the towns, and across most of the Angkor temple park, and thins in the remote countryside and out on the southern islands.
Expect strong eSIM coverage in Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, Angkor Wat, with data across the rest of Cambodia. Signal follows the local network, so it is strongest in cities and along main routes.
Coverage by area
Good, steady coverage across Siem Reap and most of the Angkor park, so temple days and sunrise trips stay connected. This is where most of your data goes.
Strong in the capital and the main towns like Battambang and Kampot, and along the main roads between them.
Signal thins on the remote back roads to outlying temples and on the far beaches of the southern islands. Download offline maps for those.
How much data do you need in Cambodia?
Whether your Cambodia trip is 7 days, 2 weeks, or a month, pick the data size to match. Not sure? Slide your trip length below and we will suggest a plan.
Cambodia travel leans on maps, tuk-tuk and tour bookings, translation, and a stream of temple and sunrise photos to the cloud. For a one to two week trip, 5 to 8 GB suits most people. Add more if you stream, and keep offline maps for the countryside and islands.
Estimate your data for Cambodia
Social, photos, some video
An estimate to guide you, not a limit. Wi-Fi at your hotel covers a lot, and you can top up any time, so it is fine to start smaller.
Typical usage per hour
Using an eSIM in Cambodia's top cities
One Cambodia eSIM covers all of these. Here is what to expect, city by city.
eSIM in Siem Reap and Angkor
Good coverage across Siem Reap and most of the Angkor Archaeological Park, from Angkor Wat and the Bayon to Ta Prohm. Your eSIM keeps maps, tuk-tuk apps, and sunrise times live as you temple-hop, thinning only on the most remote outer temples.
eSIM in Phnom Penh
Strong signal across the capital, from the Royal Palace and the riverside to the markets and the sobering history at the Killing Fields and S-21. Handy for ride apps, maps, and translation across the busy city.
eSIM in The southern coast
Reliable in Kampot, Kep, and Sihanoukville and the ferry ports, thinning on the far beaches of the islands like Koh Rong. Useful for boat bookings and maps before you head out to the sand.
Yes, you can call and text in Cambodia
Your eSIM is internet. So every calling and messaging app works, just like at home. No new apps to learn, nothing to set up.
Message anyone
WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage all run over your data.
Call home for free

eSIM in Cambodia: FAQ
Does my phone support eSIM?+
Most phones from the last few years do, including recent iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and Google Pixel models.
How do I pay?+
In crypto only: Bitcoin, Monero, USDT, USDC, Solana, and more.
When does my plan start?+
Your plan validity begins when you install and activate the eSIM, not when you buy it.
Will an eSIM work in Cambodia?+
Yes, as long as your phone supports eSIM and is carrier unlocked. The eSIM connects to a local network in Cambodia and gives you data the moment you arrive.
How much data do I need in Cambodia?+
It depends on what you do. Maps and messaging use very little, while video and hotspotting use much more. For a typical one to two week trip, 3 to 5 GB suits most travelers, and you can top up any time.
Can I keep my phone number in Cambodia?+
Yes. Your home number stays on your physical SIM for calls and codes, while the eSIM carries local data. Both work at once on a dual-SIM phone.
Can I buy my eSIM before I travel?+
Yes, and you should. Buy and install it before you fly, then switch the line on when you land in Cambodia. Your plan's days only start counting when you activate it, not when you buy.
Does the plan expire?+
Each plan runs for a set number of days once you activate it, shown on the plan. Any balance you have not spent stays on your account for your next trip, so nothing is wasted.
Can I use my eSIM as a personal hotspot?+
On most plans, yes, so you can share your connection with a laptop or a friend. Tethering uses more data, so pick a larger plan if you rely on it.
Will I have signal around the Angkor temples?+
Mostly, yes. Coverage is good across Siem Reap and most of the Angkor Archaeological Park, so you can catch the Angkor Wat sunrise time, keep maps live between temples, and share the Bayon faces. It only really thins on the most remote outer temples.
Does one plan cover the whole country?+
Yes. A Cambodia plan works nationwide on one profile, so the same eSIM covers Siem Reap and Angkor, Phnom Penh, and the southern coast, with strong signal in the towns and thinner coverage in the remote countryside and islands.
Which network is best in Cambodia?+
Cellcard, Smart, and Metfone all have strong coverage in the tourist areas, with Metfone and Smart reaching well into the countryside. Your plan connects to a major network such as Cellcard, Smart, or Metfone.
Is there an unlimited data plan for Cambodia?+
Yes, an Unlimited 30-day plan, good for a longer trip or heavy use. Sized plans are the cheaper pick if you use less, and you can top up any time.
