Missus says Kandal market has shops that sell second hand phones for cheap. Sorry for your loss and good luck.

How do those work in Cambodia?

There are two major signal carriers for mobile phones:

CDMA - USA (Verizon / Sprint)
GSM (sim card) - USA (ATT/TMOBILE) and the rest of the world

Way ahead of you on that! I've gotten nine from my colony down to Animal Rescue Cambodia so far, and am launching a GoFundMe as soon as I have a phone again to shoot some video with. :D :D :D

Please stop or I will go to Wat Langka to restore balance in the cat world. Dr. Marten is keen on a walk.

New generation of phones will have an Esim, as well as a SIM slot. So phones can be dual SIM as a result. That is what I want.

I've recently been working with ARC as well, with the cats from Wat Koh. My trusty sidekick and I have desexed 10 cats from there. There are a few more to be done but they are a bit feral and I doubt we'll ever gain enough trust to bundle them into the baskets to take. We have also taken a few for treatment for various infections. Most of the kittens that people dump at the pagoda die, despite two Khmer ladies feeding the cats daily. Some of the cats there are 10-12 years old, which is ancient for a street/pagoda cat.

Sorry about your phone.

timmydownawell - you have got me intrigued. Please tell us how you go about your de-sexing of male and female cats. Do you do it on your kitchen bench top with a rusty meat cleaver or an old kitchen knife? Or is it more "surgical" than this? Does it generate a lot of caterwauling ? Or are they sufficiently stoic as not to mew during the de-sexing process?

Just curious. Any advice on how to sex day old chickens while on the subject of animal sex? Not to be confused with sex with animals which I do not condone.

I've never had a phone in the States that didn't require a SIM card. If you want to buy a phone at night, go to one of the many pawn shops on 154.
