Are there any telecom companies in Cambodia that do not require you to top up monthly in order to keep your number?

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia.

Works perfect for me . . .
Thanks. Missed this one earlier too.

Thanks. Would you know if any 'pay as you go' plan exists in Cambodia with any company, as opposed to this 'number lifecycle' (blackmail) plan?
No sorry. I've only stuck with Smart coz most of my friends have it.

Got it all worked out there Bongmab69 :wink: I use Smart Xchange for even better value https://www.smart.com.kh/services/add-ons/xchange/ Pay $2 and get $60 worth of calls and data for 25 days.. BUT what I don't know is whether doing this is classified as a 'top up'...I suspect not.
