“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.”

Airalo Cambodia

“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.”
