To activate it, you show your original passport and pass a live face scan.

The eSIM earns its place on short trips with little data, for a connection the moment you land, and on Metfone&#8217;s network, which Opensignal rated highest for coverage in Cambodia.<\/p>\n<h2>Local SIM, travel eSIM or roaming: what is the difference in Cambodia?<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><\/th>\n<th>Local SIM (Smart, Cellcard, Metfone)<\/th>\n<th>Travel eSIM (POVNOMAD)<\/th>\n<th>Roaming on your home contract<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Price<\/td>\n<td>Smart Traveller SIM $5 (\u20ac4.49) for 30 GB\/15 days, $10 (\u20ac8.98) for 60 GB\/30 days<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac2.90 for 1 GB\/7 days, \u20ac7.90 for 5 GB\/30 days, \u20ac14.90 for 10 GB\/30 days<\/td>\n<td>Cambodia is outside EU roaming, you need a pass from your provider<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>What you need<\/td>\n<td>original passport, live face scan, unlocked phone<\/td>\n<td>eSIM-capable, unlocked phone<\/td>\n<td>a pass booked in your provider&#8217;s app<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>When you get online<\/td>\n<td>after the counter at the airport has registered the SIM<\/td>\n<td>on landing, installed at home beforehand<\/td>\n<td>on landing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Registration<\/td>\n<td>operators must check a valid ID before they activate any SIM<\/td>\n<td>no Cambodian registration<\/td>\n<td>none<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Calls and SMS<\/td>\n<td>yes, with a Cambodian +855 number; Smart includes 300 or 600 on-net minutes<\/td>\n<td>no, data only; WhatsApp calls run over data<\/td>\n<td>yes, at your provider&#8217;s rates<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hotspot<\/td>\n<td>not mentioned on the Smart Traveller SIM page<\/td>\n<td>yes<\/td>\n<td>depends on your contract<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><small>As of 30 October 2026.

On Metfone&#8217;s website we found no tourist package. We therefore quote no Cellcard or Metfone prices; compare the counters at the airport with the Smart table.<\/p>\n<p>Compare that with travel eSIMs bought before departure, as of 30 October 2026:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Plan<\/th>\n<th>POVNOMAD<\/th>\n<th>Airalo<\/th>\n<th>Holafly<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>1 GB<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac2.90 (7 days)<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac4.00 (3 days)<\/td>\n<td>\u2013<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3 GB<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac5.90 (15 days)<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac8.50 (7 days)<\/td>\n<td>\u2013<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5 GB, 30 days<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac7.90<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac12.00<\/td>\n<td>\u2013<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10 GB, 30 days<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac14.90<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac19.50<\/td>\n<td>\u2013<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>20 GB, 30 days<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac26.90<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac29.50<\/td>\n<td>\u2013<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Unlimited, 7 days<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac15.90 with our Southeast Asia eSIM (1 GB a day at full speed)<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac25.00 (3 GB a day)<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac25.90<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Unlimited, 30 days<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac49.90 with our Southeast Asia eSIM<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac67.00 (3 GB a day)<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac68.90<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><small>Read on 30 October 2026 on povnomad.com, airalo.com\/de\/cambodia-esim (EUR view) and esim.holafly.com\/de\/esim-kambodscha\/. Holafly sells unlimited plans only. &#8220;\u2013&#8221; = no such plan. The Cambodia eSIM itself has no unlimited plan; the Southeast Asia eSIM covers Cambodia and seven other countries. After the daily full-speed allowance it continues at up to 1 Mbit\/s, as does Airalo.<\/small><\/p>\n<p>Against Smart every eSIM loses once you need more than a few gigabytes: 30 GB for 15 days cost \u20ac4.49 at Smart, our 3 GB for 15 days \u20ac5.90. Our eSIM costs less only for very small needs, such as 1 GB for a week at \u20ac2.90.<\/p>\n<h2>Do you need your passport to buy a SIM card in Cambodia?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, the original. Smart&#8217;s registration asks you to scan your passport and then your face, and a photocopy or an expired document does not count. The form also has a field for a photo of your visa. Smart says it usually approves the registration on the spot (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smart.com.kh\/sim-registration\">smart.com.kh, SIM registration<\/a>). Without a phone camera, you complete the activation in a Smart shop.<\/p>\n<p>The regulator TRC enforces the rule. On 15 June 2026 it reported a penalty against Viettel (Cambodia), the company behind Metfone, after someone had registered three SIMs under another person&#8217;s identity card. The TRC reminded all operators that they must obtain and check valid identification documents before they activate any service (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.trc.gov.kh\/en\/media\/news-releases\/21-news-release\/\">TRC, 15 June 2026<\/a>). A seller who offers you a SIM without looking at your passport is breaking these rules.<\/p>\n<p>A travel eSIM bought abroad roams on a Cambodian network with a foreign profile and carries no Cambodian number. We found no TRC rule that requires such an eSIM to be registered in Cambodia (as of 30 October 2026), and our checkout asks for no ID.<\/p>\n<h2>Smart, Cellcard or Metfone: which network covers the country?<\/h2>\n<p>Metfone for coverage, Cellcard for download speed. Opensignal measured the three networks from 1 October to 29 December 2025:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Network<\/th>\n<th>Coverage experience (0 to 10)<\/th>\n<th>Download speed<\/th>\n<th>Upload speed<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Metfone<\/td>\n<td>8.3<\/td>\n<td>21.9 Mbit\/s<\/td>\n<td>10.2 Mbit\/s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Smart<\/td>\n<td>7.1<\/td>\n<td>23.7 Mbit\/s<\/td>\n<td>6.2 Mbit\/s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cellcard<\/td>\n<td>5.2<\/td>\n<td>26.7 Mbit\/s<\/td>\n<td>9.2 Mbit\/s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><small>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/insights.opensignal.com\/reports\/2026\/02\/cambodia\/mobile-network-experience\">Opensignal, Cambodia Mobile Network Experience Report, February 2026<\/a>, data from 1 October to 29 December 2025. Coverage experience rates how often users find a signal in places where they expect one, not the share of the country&#8217;s area.<\/small><\/p>\n<p>The speeds lie close together; the coverage scores do not. None of the three operators publishes coverage figures by province that we could read. Holafly lists the north-eastern provinces, some islands off the south coast and boat trips as places where the signal can get weak or unstable (esim.holafly.com, 30 October 2026). Download offline maps before long bus rides.<\/p>\n<p>The POVNOMAD Cambodia eSIM connects to Metfone 4G, according to the product page, which notes that the network can depend on the variant. Holafly also names Metfone, while Airalo names Smart. After purchase you see the networks in use in the POVNOMAD app.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you buy the local SIM the right way?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Carry your original passport. A copy or a photo is not enough, and you scan your face during registration.<\/li>\n<li>Buy at the operator&#8217;s own counter in the arrivals hall. Smart sells its Traveller SIM at every international airport in Cambodia.<\/li>\n<li>Do not accept a SIM that someone activates without your passport. The TRC calls that a breach of the rules.<\/li>\n<li>Test mobile data before you leave the counter, and note the end date: 15 or 30 days with Smart.<\/li>\n<li>Check that your phone is unlocked. A phone locked to a German network will not accept a Cambodian SIM.<\/li>\n<li>If you take your German SIM out, you will not receive SMS codes from your bank. A dual-SIM phone keeps both lines active.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>When is the eSIM the better choice, and when is it not?<\/h2>\n<p>The local SIM is the better deal for anyone who needs more than a few gigabytes. Smart gives you 30 GB for 15 days at \u20ac4.49 and 60 GB for 30 days at \u20ac8.98; our 10 GB for 30 days cost \u20ac14.90. You also get a Cambodian number and minutes for local calls.<\/p>\n<p>The eSIM fits better in these cases:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You want maps, a ride app and messages working when you land, without a queue at the counter and a face scan. Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi (<a href=\"https:\/\/povnomad.com\/en\/esim-installation-instructions-for-android-and-apple\/\">instructions for iPhone and Android<\/a>); the validity starts on first contact with a Cambodian network.<\/li>\n<li>You need little data, for example 1 GB for a week at \u20ac2.90.<\/li>\n<li>You want the network with the highest coverage score: our eSIM runs on Metfone.<\/li>\n<li>Cambodia is one stop of several. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/povnomad.com\/en\/produkt\/suedostasien-8-laender-esim\/\">Southeast Asia eSIM<\/a> covers eight countries with one profile, Unlimited Smart from \u20ac15.90 for 7 days. Prices and rules for neighbouring countries are in our <a href=\"https:\/\/povnomad.com\/en\/vietnam-sim-card-for-tourists\/\">Vietnam SIM card guide<\/a> and our <a href=\"https:\/\/povnomad.com\/en\/thailand-sim-card-for-tourists\/\">Thailand SIM card guide<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One honest point: if you land at an airport with a Smart booth and need data for two weeks or more, the Traveller SIM costs a fraction of any travel eSIM. This guide is also available in <a href=\"https:\/\/povnomad.com\/en\/cambodia-sim-card-for-tourists\/\">German<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"pnm-faq\">\n<h3>How much does a tourist SIM card cost in Cambodia?<\/h3>\n<p>Smart&#8217;s Traveller SIM costs $5 (about \u20ac4.49) for 30 GB over 15 days and $10 (\u20ac8.98) for 60 GB over 30 days, sold at Smart booths at the international airports, as of 30 October 2026. Cellcard and Metfone prices were not readable on their websites.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I need my passport to buy a SIM card in Cambodia?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, your original passport. Smart registers foreigners with a passport scan and a live face scan, and the regulator TRC reminded all operators on 15 June 2026 that they must check valid ID before activating any SIM.<\/p>\n<h3>Which network has the widest coverage in Cambodia?<\/h3>\n<p>Metfone, by Opensignal&#8217;s measurement from October to December 2025: 8.3 out of 10 for coverage experience, ahead of Smart with 7.1 and Cellcard with 5.2. Cellcard had the fastest downloads at 26.7 Mbit\/s.<\/p>\n<h3>Which network does the POVNOMAD Cambodia eSIM use?<\/h3>\n<p>Metfone 4G, according to the product page, which notes that the network can depend on the variant. Prices start at \u20ac2.90 for 1 GB over 7 days, as of 30 October 2026. You see the networks in use in the POVNOMAD app after purchase.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I have to register a travel eSIM in Cambodia?<\/h3>\n<p>We found no rule that requires it (as of 30 October 2026). A travel eSIM bought abroad roams on a Cambodian network with a foreign profile and has no Cambodian number. Our checkout asks for no ID.<\/p>\n<h3>Is a local SIM cheaper than an eSIM in Cambodia?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, unless you need very little data. Smart sells 30 GB for 15 days at $5 (\u20ac4.49); 3 GB for 15 days on the POVNOMAD eSIM cost \u20ac5.90. For 1 GB over a week the eSIM is cheaper at \u20ac2.90. As of 30 October 2026.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there an unlimited eSIM for Cambodia?<\/h3>\n<p>Not as a Cambodia-only plan at POVNOMAD. Our Southeast Asia eSIM covers Cambodia with Unlimited Smart from \u20ac15.90 for 7 days (1 GB a day at full speed, then up to 1 Mbit\/s). Airalo charges \u20ac25.00 and Holafly \u20ac25.90 for 7 days of unlimited data in Cambodia.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I know if these prices are still current?<\/h3>\n<p>Every price on this page was read on 30 October 2026 on smart.com.kh, povnomad.com, airalo.com and esim.holafly.com. Operators change their packages every few months. Check the operator&#8217;s page before you buy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Last updated on 30 October 2026.
