What is a very inexpensive, yet very good, SIM card to get for a cell phone? What company and where can they be bought?

I've been using Metfone for 5 plus years, it has the best coverage imo. The main complaints I have with them are spam messages and callings. You'll need Khmer national id card, or a passport to get either a Metfone or Cellcard sim. Cost? 50 cents to 2 dollars if you aren't picky on fancy phone number.

Go to any Metfone store or any cell phone shop and they should have them.

You have been in country for a while now. Are you taking the piss with us?

I don't know if Metphone has "Retail" style stores like CellCard and Smart do. However, go to any phone shop or even a place that sells top up scratch cards. Best bet is the local phone shop. Look for the display case of phones.

"K'nyahm C'jong Metphone Sim, Ot T'Lai" or something like that. :?

LoL, they are literally everywhere.

If you want to be in an area where they are all over, check out near the Central Market.

I've never had a problem getting CellCard SIM's without any passport/ID.

Not all places will sell them to you if you don't have a passport/ID, but many will. Just look around.
