Are you thinking of traveling to Cambodia soon and looking for the best travel eSIM?
Many eSIM providers are available nowadays, but not all are equal or good.
Some offer unlimited data, while others include a phone number for local, regional, or global use.
Some have blazing-fast speeds, while others have extended validity.
Whatever you need, there will be an eSIM for your liking.
In the case of Cambodia, I recommend one of these eSIM providers, which I have tested in numerous countries on multiple continents:
- Airalo
- Alosim
- Holafly
- Nomad
What do they offer?
eSIM | Packages | Prices | Data | Phone Number? | 5G NR? | Discount Code(s) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Airalo | 6 | 4.50 USD – 32 USD | 1 GB for 7 days – 20 GB for 30 days | No | No | APR10 (10%) & APR15 (15%) 2 |
Alosim | 6 | 4.50 USD – 32 USD | 1 GB for 7 days – 20 GB for 30 days | Yes (CA/US number) 1 | No | PTW (5%) |
Holafly | 5 | 19 USD – 54 USD | Unlimited for 5 days – unlimited for 20 days | No | No | PHONETRAVELWIZ (5%) |

1 Alosim allows you to pick a Canadian (CA) or American (US) phone number through its sister app Hushed, giving you credits worth 30 minutes (within Cambodia or from Cambodia to anywhere else) or 50 texts (same conditions as calling)
2 if you have never purchased an Airalo eSIM, use code APR15 for 15% off. You can still get 10% off using code APR10 if you are an existing customer. Note each code has a redemption limit of 3000 (while the codes of Alosim and Holafly have no redemption limit)
3 if you have never purchased a Nomad eSIM, use code ADU123 for 3 USD off. On Tuesdays, use NOMADTUE for 10% off on plans of 10 GB or higher
Do any of these providers offer regional, Asian, or even APAC (Asia-Pacific) eSIMs? Yes!
eSIM | Regional eSIMs? | Countries | Phone Number? |
---|---|---|---|
Airalo | Yes (Asialink) | 18 | No |
Holafly | Yes (Asia) | 11 | No |
Nomad | Yes (Asia, APAC & a sub-regional one) | Up to 21 | No |
What about eSIMs global eSIMs exist? Of course!

Now that we have an overview of our options let's go through each and find out about their benefits.

Airalo Cambodia eSIMs
Airalo has two kinds of eSIMs that can be used in Cambodia: Connect Cambodia and Asialink.
Below is a quick overview:
eSIM | Coverage | Packages | Prices | Data | 5G NR in Cambodia? |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Connect Cambodia | Cambodia only | 6 | 4.50 USD – 32 USD | 1 GB for 7 days – 20 GB for 30 days | No |
Asialink | Cambodia & | 6 | 5 USD – 185 USD | 1 GB for 7 days – 100 GB for 180 days (half a year) | No |
Remember to use code APR15 for 15% off if you have never purchased an Airalo eSIM before OR code APR10 for 10% off if you are an existing Airalo user (valid until the 31st of March – only the first 3000 users can redeem either discount code).
If you already have an eSIM variant in mind, click on the links next to jump to the respective sections: Connect Cambodia and Asialink.
Airalo was the first eSIM store launched in 2019.
It is also the largest eSIM provider, covering more than 200 countries and territories.
The first eSIM I ever tested was one from Airalo (in the Netherlands).
This is why I have tested Airalo eSIMs in more countries than other providers.
Airalo gives each country's eSIM a unique name that is often related to said nation.
Airalo Connect Cambodia (Cambodia) eSIM
Airalo's Cambodia eSIM is called Connect Cambodia.
As highlighted in the table earlier, there are six Cambodia Connect Cambodia eSIM variants:
- Cambodia/Connect Cambodia 1 GB eSIM for 7 days, costing 4.50 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Cambodia/Connect Cambodia 2 GB eSIM for 15 days, costing 7 USD
- Cambodia/Connect Cambodia 3 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 9.50 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Cambodia/Connect Cambodia 5 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 13 USD – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Cambodia/Connect Cambodia 10 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 21 USD
- Cambodia/Connect Cambodia 20 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 32 USD
Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in December based on data up to the 30th of December (2023 data only). The (promotional) prices were updated on the 25th of April.
With the Airalo Connect Cambodia eSIM, you can use the Metfone Cambodia network.
In my Cambodia SIM card buying guide, I tell you more about which Cambodian mobile operator is/are the best in coverage or speed so you can manually select the network that would suit your needs.
Airalo Asialink eSIM
Next, we have the Airalo Asialink eSIM to be used in Cambodia and 13 17 other Asian countries.
After Airalo updated its Asia regional eSIM from China Unicom (which was terrible) to Asialink, it could be used in 14 Asian countries for the longest.
The old “Asia” eSIM was terrible. The eSIM only gave you 4 GB of high-speed data before you would be dealing with throttled speeds (@ 256 Kbps if I recall correctly), and the validity was up to 14 days. It was not practical when you visited multiple countries in Asia!
Although the word Asia was doing some heavy lifting, the Asialink eSIM could only be used in East- and Southeast Asian countries.
In 2024, it finally got a solid update.
Not only have four South Asian countries been added (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan & Sri Lanka), but you can also use 5G NR in more than half of the supported 18 countries (the eSIM was previously restricted to 4G/LTE only).
This is because Airalo switched partners (Singtel from Singapore to JoyTelecom/CSL Mobile Hong Kong).
So, the results I got with various Asialink eSIMs prior to 2024 are inaccurate now (as they were Singtel Asialink eSIMs) 🫠.
Ah well, this gives me a reason to revisit all these exciting East- and Southeast Asian countries again 😎.
You have these six Asialink options to choose from:
- Asia/Asialink 1 GB eSIM for 7 days, costing 5 USD
- Asia/Asialink 3 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 13 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Asia/Asialink 5 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 20 USD – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Asia/Asialink 10 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 37 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Asia/Asialink 50 GB eSIM for 90 days, costing 100 USD
- Asia/Asialink 100 GB eSIM for 180 days, costing 185 USD
Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in December based on data up to the 30th of December (2023 data only). The (promotional) prices were updated on the 25th of April.
You can use the Metfone Cambodia network with the Asialink eSIM (without 5G NR access).
In my ongoing Airalo Asialink review, I tell you all the 18 countries where the eSIM can be used.
But you can also use the map below as a reference.
Airalo eSIMs for Cambodia Summarized
To summarize, these are the characteristics of each Airalo eSIM covered in this section:
- Connect Cambodia:
- can be used in Cambodia only
- is priced between 4.50 USD and 32 USD
- has six variants (1 GB for 7 days – 20 GB for 30 days)

1317 other Asian countries (expanded) - is priced between 5 USD and 185 USD

Alosim Cambodia eSIM
Alosim has only one eSIM that can be used in Cambodia: Cambodia.
Below is a quick overview:
eSIM | Coverage | Packages | Prices | Data | 5G NR in Cambodia? | Phone Number? |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cambodia | Cambodia only | 6 | 4.50 USD – 32 USD | 1 GB for 7 days – 20 GB for 30 days | No | Yes |
Remember that you can use code PTW for 5% off any Alosim purchase (as many times as you wish for as many eSIMs as you want).
Alosim is backed by AffinityClick, which is known for the Hushed app.
That app with the tagline “Temporary & Second Phone Number App for Wifi, Data Calling & Texting” has over 8 million downloads.
It took a while, but AffinityClick finally bundled its product, which is a big deal.
Why? With any Alosim eSIM purchase, you will get a Hushed redemption code, giving you up to 30 international minutes or 50 international SMS.
You get a free +1 (American or Canadian) phone number from one of the more than 300 supported area codes.
While it would be fantastic to get a Cambodian phone number instead, it is impossible to get one for the time being due to local regulations.
Either way, Alosim is the only eSIM provider that gives you a phone number for each eSIM purchase.
And it has eSIMs for over 170 countries, including Cambodia.
Alosim Cambodia eSIM
For Cambodia, you have the following six choices:
- Cambodia 1 GB eSIM for 7 days, costing 4.50 USD – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Cambodia 2 GB eSIM for 15 days, costing 7 USD
- Cambodia 3 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 9.50 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Cambodia 5 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 13.50 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in December based on data up to the 30th of December (2023 data only). The (promotional) prices were updated on the 25th of April.
Alosim's Cambodia eSIM gives you access to the Smart Cambodia (4G) network.
For more information on how Cambodian mobile operator perform, check out my Cambodia SIM card buying guide, where I discuss the performance of each SIM card (in terms of coverage and speed).
Alosim eSIMs for Cambodia Summarized
To summarize, these are the characteristics of each Alosim eSIM covered in this section:
- Cambodia:
- is priced between 4.50 USD and 32 USD
- has six variants (1 GB for 7 days – 20 GB for 30 days)

Holafly Cambodia eSIMs
Holafly has two kinds of eSIMs that can be used in Cambodia: Cambodia and Asia.
Below is a quick overview:
eSIM | Coverage | Packages | Prices | Data | 5G NR in Cambodia? | Phone Number? |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cambodia | Cambodia only | 5 | 19 USD – 54 USD | Unlimited for 5 days – unlimited for 20 days | No | No |
Asia | Cambodia & 10 Asia countries | 6 | 27 USD – 79 USD (price increased) | Unlimited for 5 days – unlimited for 30 days | No | No |
Remember that you can use code PHONETRAVELWIZ for 5% off any Holafly purchase (as many times as you wish for as many eSIMs as you want).
If you already have an eSIM variant in mind, click on the links next to jump to the respective sections: Cambodia and Asia.
Holafly made a name for itself by introducing unlimited data plans in June 2022, which was uncommon back then.
Now, it has eSIMs for more than 160 countries.
And more than 100 of them have unlimited data plans.
Holafly Cambodia eSIM
Cambodia is lucky enough to have unlimited data eSIMs, and you have five options:
- Cambodia unlimited data eSIM for 5 days, costing 19 USD – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Cambodia unlimited data eSIM for 7 days, costing 27 USD
- Cambodia unlimited data eSIM for 10 days, costing 34 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Cambodia unlimited data eSIM for 15 days, costing 47 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Cambodia unlimited data eSIM for 20 days, costing 54 USD
Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in December based on data up to the 30th of December (2023 data only). The (promotional) prices were updated on the 25th of April.
Be aware that as of mid-2023, Holafly eSIMs with unlimited data plans (excluding European ones) are speed-restricted to 18 Mbps (the speeds are even slower in some countries).
While 18 Mbps is not exactly a snail's speed, much faster speeds are available for lower prices with other eSIM providers mentioned in this guide.
Anyway, with this eSIM, you can use the Smart Cambodia network.
Holafly Asia eSIM
Previously, Holafly's Asia eSIM was… uncompetitive.
You had two variants: 6 GB for 15 days (44 USD) and 10 GB for 30 days (54 USD), both with a daily maximum of 500 MB.
After some lobbying (just kidding – suggesting), Holafly introduced unlimited data plans for its Asia eSIM.
However, the word Asia is doing heavy lifting because it can only be used in several East- and Southeast Asian countries.
Unlike its Europe eSIM (review), which is priced the same as country-specific European eSIMs, the Asia eSIM is pricier.
What I mean is that if you buy the 20-day unlimited data plan for Spain or Europe, you pay the same 54 USD for the Europe eSIM as if you were to buy the Spain one. This makes purchasing the Europe eSIM a no-brainer if you visit two or more European countries.
See, I was not lying – the prices between the Spain eSIM and the Europe one are identical. And European eSIMs also include a phone number. This is not the case with Asian eSIMs (yet).
Unlike most country-specific Asian eSIMs, the Asia eSIM is valid for up to 30 days (instead of 90 days).
This is something to keep in mind if you plan on taking your time traveling through multiple countries.
Below is an overview of all the Holafly Asia eSIMs:
- Asia unlimited data eSIM for 5 days, costing 27 USD
- Asia unlimited data eSIM for 7 days, costing 34 USD
- Asia unlimited data eSIM for 10 days, costing 37 USD
- Asia unlimited data eSIM for 15 days, costing 47 USD – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Asia unlimited data eSIM for 20 days, costing 54 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Asia unlimited data eSIM for 30 days, costing 79 USD (price increased) – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in December based on data up to the 30th of December (2023 data only). The (promotional) prices were updated on the 25th of April.
Unfortunately, the same speed restriction that applies to the Cambodia eSIM (18 Mbps) also applies to the Asia eSIM.
You can use the Holafly Asia eSIM in the following 11 countries:
- Cambodia
- Indonesia
- Japan
- Laos
- Malaysia
- Philippines
- Singapore (5G)
- South Korea
- Taiwan (5G)
- Thailand (5G)
- Vietnam (limited 5G)

Nomad Cambodia eSIMs
Nomad has three kinds of eSIMs that can be used in Cambodia: Cambodia, APAC (Asia-Pacific) & Global.
Below is a quick overview:
eSIM | Coverage | Packages | Prices | Data | 5G NR in Cambodia? |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cambodia | Cambodia only | 7 | 6 USD – 36 USD | 1 GB for 7 days – 20 GB for 45 days | No |
APAC | Cambodia & 19/20 Asia-Pacific countries | 12 (6 for 20 countries & 6 for 21 countries) | 8 USD/7 USD – 65/48 USD 1 | 1 GB for 7 days – 30 GB for 30 days | No |
Global | Cambodia & 108/135 other countries | 6 (3 for 109 countries & 3 for 136 countries) | 25/19 USD – 45/57 USD 2 | 1 GB for 7 days – 5 GB for 30 days | No |
1 8 USD and 65 USD apply to the 20 Countries Plan. 21 Countries Plan eSIMs costs between 7 USD and 48 USD
2 25 USD and 45 USD apply to the 109 Countries Plan. 136 Countries Plan eSIMs costs between 19 USD and 57 USD
Nomad is an eSIM provider covering over 160 countries.
It also has the strongest presence in Asia in terms of number of packages for country-specific countries and (sub-)regional eSIMs.
And very generous data plans are available (up to 50 GB).
Unlike many eSIM providers that refer to Asia as several East- and Southeast Asian countries, Nomad has eSIMs covering those regions + Oceania and South Asia.
Nomad Cambodia eSIM
For Cambodia, you have these seven choices:
- Cambodia 1 GB eSIM for 7 days (Singtel), costing 6 USD
- Cambodia 1 GB eSIM for 7 days (Truphone), costing 25 USD

Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in December based on data up to the 30th of December (2023 data only). The (promotional) prices were updated on the 25th of April.
If an eSIM is powered by JoyTelecom, you can use 5G NR or some or all supported Cambodian mobile networks. If the eSIM is powered by Global1SIM, Nomad Black (Tele2 Sweden), Singtel, or Truphone (rebranded to 1Global) instead, you will be restricted to 4G/LTE.
Because these providers are different, you can access different Cambodian mobile networks depending on who powers them.
The best way to find out is by pressing See Details on the Nomad Cambodia eSIM product page.
My Cambodia SIM card buying guide will inform you which network(s) is/are the best regarding coverage and speed.
Nomad APAC eSIM
The Nomad APAC eSIM can be used in 20 or 21 countries in the Asia-Pacific (Oceania) region, depending on the variant.
The APAC eSIM has the 20 Countries Plan (JoyTelecom) and the 21 Countries Plan (Singtel).
JoyTelecom-powered eSIMs have up to 5G NR access in all supported countries (except for Laos, where you are restricted to 3G) and have a maximum validity of 60 days (30 GB).
Meanwhile, Singtel-powered eSIMs (previously Truphone) have 4G/LTE access in all supported countries (even Laos), and they have a maximum validity of 45 days (20 GB).
Because of the partner switch, most eSIMs under the 21 Countries Plan have seen price reductions.

You can learn about my experiences in my ongoing Nomad APAC eSIM review.
Nomad Global eSIM
At last, we have the Nomad Global eSIM.
Depending on your chosen variant, the eSIM can be used in 109 or 136 countries.
Truphone (rebranded to 1Global) powers the 109 Countries Plan, giving you up to 4G/LTE access.
Meanwhile, the 136 Countries Plan is powered by eSIM Go, giving you 5G NR access in about half of the supported countries.
Each plan has three eSIMs: 1 GB for 7 days, 3 GB for 30 days & 5 GB for 30 days.
Below is a price list of all the Nomad Global eSIMs:
- Global 1 GB eSIM for 7 days (109 Countries), costing 25 USD

Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in December based on data up to the 30th of December (2023 data only). The (promotional) prices were updated on the 25th of April.
Because I have no ongoing review for this eSIM (its short validity makes it challenging to be a proper global eSIM), you can use the Nomad Global product page or the map below to find all supported countries.
