I'm arriving in Phnom Penh and I want to make sure I have a reliable mobile network, not just to get around Cambodia but also because I work online. Which provider is best, and how is the coverage?
Poutine, this iconic Québec dish, is made with fresh house-cut fries, golden and lightly crispy, fresh cheese curds of the day that squeak between the teeth, all topped with a subtly salted brown gravy. It is the balance of these three ingredients that defines a good Québec poutine. Even though many Parisian spots serve poutine, only one truly stands out for its Québécois authenticity. Here are five of the best places to enjoy a real poutine in Paris: 5th place – Hot Corner: Cheap halal poutine Hot Corner is a small halal fast-food joint founded in 2019 at the corner of Jean Jaurès and…

Kep is a small seaside town in southern Cambodia, often overshadowed by its more famous neighbor Kampot. But skipping Kep would be a mistake because it's exactly the kind of hidden gem that can make your trip feel more authentic. And since it's only a 30-minute ride from Kampot, it's an easy day trip destination. This was actually the first town I stopped in after arriving in Cambodia, and it took me by surprise in the best way. The vibe is calm, the local life is still very present, and the scenery is lush and green. You'll also find budget-friendly bungalows set on spacious, tropical…

In Cambodia, the three main mobile operators are Smart Axiata, Metfone, and Cellcard. All of them offer affordable plans with fairly similar coverage. Personally, I've used both Smart and Cellcard, and I never had major issues. Sometimes one worked better than the other depending on the location.
Prices are very reasonable. Expect to pay around 20,000 to 40,000 KHR ($5 to $10 USD) for 50 to 100 GB of data valid for one month. If someone charges you more, be cautious. Always buy your SIM card from an official kiosk, either at the airport or at the operator's stores in town.
Mobile coverage in Cambodia is strong in urban and tourist areas such as Phnom Penh, Siem Reap (Angkor Wat), Sihanoukville, Kampot, Kep, and even on some islands like Koh Rong. Don't expect blazing speeds or consistent 4G/5G everywhere, but the mobile internet is usually good enough for browsing, working online, or making video calls. Once you leave these areas, especially in rural regions or while traveling between cities, the signal can drop or disappear.
For a reliable connection and peace of mind, I recommend Smart, which is both very popular and the largest operator in the country. Their kiosks are easy to find across Cambodia, making it simple to top up or get assistance if needed.
