“It seems the roaming provider has changed from Singtel to KPN. As a result, data now routes through the Netherlands, thus higher latency than before (200+ms). It connects to Smart network. There were several occasions when the signal dropped to "E" (Edge), and data could not be used. This might be due to local coverage issues. The latency is still manageable, but the occasional loss of connectivity is a bit inconvenient. I wouldn't recommend it.”

“The speeds are decent, but the IP is from Hong Kong so the latency is quite high. And most importantly, ChatGPT cannot be used unfortunately.”

“It works flawlessly! The speed was above 80mbps (download) most of the time which I did not expect for a prepaid eSIM, way better than my expectation. Roaming via Singapore with latency around 100ms.

It connected to Smart network and the coverage was good in Phnom Penh. No issues whatsoever.

Highly recommend this.”

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Cambodia?

Yes, travel eSIMs that include both a phone number and SMS are available for travel to Cambodia. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, Roamify, Earth Esim, EtravelSIM, Orange Travel and Airhub offer packages ranging from a few gigabytes to over 100 GB. Most of these plans use a foreign dialing code (for example +1, +33, +376) and provide inbound and outbound voice calls, though SMS support may be inbound‑only or inbound/outbound depending on the specific plan. Airhub and RedEx eSIM supply local Cambodian numbers with the dialing code +855, giving callers a fully local number with full voice and SMS capabilities. Prices start around $4.00 USD for a 7‑day plan and increase with data volume and validity. Other providers, such as FlyEsim.me and eSIMX, also offer comparable travel eSIMs with voice and SMS features and are available in the same price ranges.
