Best eSIM providers for Cambodia?

Post by Crazypoet »

I recently upgraded to a new phone that has no physical Sim slots (the old phone and Sim started to die painfully, so it was time to upgrade 🤦‍♂️😂).

There are quite a few eSIM providers out there - any recommendations? I’ll need both a local phone number and data.

Did you try your physical Sim provider to see if they have eSim? What phone do you now have that has No physical Sim slot?

I have an iPhone 15 Pro, now, which has no physical SIM slots. I use Verizon as my carrier, so the embedded eSIM is theirs. I will add a second eSIM for Cambodia, once I find a good provider and plan

I used an "tourist" eSIM I got free from some app (WiFi Map, I believe) when I first arrived and then I switched to Smart. I bought the SIM and used it for a while because I had to go visit the Smart shop and show my ID (*again*) or whatever in order have it converted into eSIM.

I would presume that by now the kiosk at the airport also offers eSIM directly to tourists - it would be useful if anyone could verify this.
