The Cambodia eSIM Matrix by Trip Length: 7, 14 and 30 Days (2026)
The HelloRoam operator list for Cambodia holds 2 operators: Cellcard and Metfone. A phone can attach to any of them: Cellcard and Metfone. The order on the list is alphabetical, so the first name is not a first choice, and the list carries no speed figure.
Best at 7, 14 and 30 days
Unlimited and fixed tiers by trip length in Cambodia
Each length sets its unlimited tier beside one fixed tier.
| Trip length | Unlimited tier | Per day | Fixed tier | Lower price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 days | $10.43 | $3.48 | 3GB $7.99 | Fixed tier |
| 7 days | $22.55 | $3.22 | 10GB $18.90 | Fixed tier |
| 14 days | $40.99 | $2.93 | 20GB $28.80 | Fixed tier |
| 30 days | $74.66 | $2.49 | 20GB $28.80 | Fixed tier |
Tier prices are HelloRoam's catalogue prices, fetched 29 Oct 2026. Each rival prices its own tiers separately. Check that a fixed tier's validity covers your dates before you buy it. Unlimited tiers give 2GB per day at full speed.
How the picks are built
Each row reads two prices straight from the catalogue: the unlimited tier of that exact length and one fixed tier. We never multiply a day rate to make a price, and we never estimate how much data you will use. You know your own phone habits, so the verdicts say “that fits in” a volume and leave the call to you.
5 providers
What each provider brings to a trip of this shape
Entry rate, plan shape, refund window, and support for each of the five providers this site compares. Check the Cambodia coverage list before you buy.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HelloRoam | from $0.29/GB (50 GB for 7 days in Thailand) | Fixed GB tiers | 180 days | 24/7 live chat, WhatsApp, email, replies in your own language | cheapest entry rate per GB and a refund window tied for longest | See plans → |
| Saily | from $0.80/GB (20 GB for 30 days in Austria) | Fixed GB tiers | 30 days | Email only, 1 language | Built-In VPN for Public WiFi | See plans → |
| Airalo | from $0.55/GB (50 GB for 30 days in Thailand) | Fixed GB tiers | 14 days | Email + in-app chat, 12 languages | bundle reach (130 destinations on one plan) and most support languages with a published count | See plans → |
| Nomad | from $0.34/GB (50 GB for 10 days in Thailand) | Fixed GB tiers | 30 days | Email only, 2 languages | Low-Cost Fixed-Data Plans | See plans → |

No provider leads every column. Airalo leads on bundle reach among the counts on record, 130 destinations on one plan to HelloRoam's 127. HelloRoam and Holafly keep the refund window open 180 days. Airalo closes at 14 days. Airalo publishes support in 12 languages, ahead of every other count published on this table.
Entry rates are each provider's own cheapest published rate, not a rate specific to Cambodia. Refund windows come from each provider's refund policy. Support channels and language counts come from each provider's contact page. Nothing in this table is a score we made up.
1-4 days
Short-stay plan (1-4 days)
City breaks, quick holidays, long weekends.
The 3-day pick
For 3 days in Cambodia that fit in 3 GB, the 3GB tier at $7.99 costs less than the 3-day unlimited tier at $10.43, with full speed for the first 2 GB each day. The smallest fixed tier is 1GB at $3.99.
Which providers fit 1-4 days
HelloRoam, Saily, Airalo, and Nomad sell fixed GB tiers, the shape a short stay uses. Holafly sells 1-day plans instead, from $3.90 for 1 day. HelloRoam lists the lowest entry rate of the five at $0.29/GB (50 GB for 7 days in Thailand). That rate covers its cheapest routes, so check the Cambodia price before you count on it.

The 7-day pick
For 7 days in Cambodia that fit in 10 GB, the 10GB tier at $18.90 costs less than the 7-day unlimited tier at $22.55, with full speed for the first 2 GB each day.
The 14-day pick
For 14 days in Cambodia that fit in 20 GB, the 20GB tier at $28.80 costs less than the 14-day unlimited tier at $40.99, with full speed for the first 2 GB each day. A trip between 7 and 14 days sits between the 7-day unlimited tier at $22.55 and the 14-day tier at $40.99, each with full speed for the first 2 GB each day. No tier sits in between, so this page prices none.
HelloRoam, Saily, Airalo, and Nomad sell fixed GB tiers. Holafly sells a day rate with no GB cap. Each prices its own tiers, so compare the entry rates above before you pick a side.
Mid-trip top-up
If a fixed tier runs dry, buy a second plan. The smallest Cambodia tier is 1GB at $3.99, and the existing eSIM can stay on the phone.
15-30+ days
Extended-stay plan (15-30+ days)
A month abroad, study stays, extended travel.
The 30-day pick
For 30 days in Cambodia that fit in 20 GB, the 20GB tier at $28.80 costs less than the 30-day unlimited tier at $74.66, with full speed for the first 2 GB each day. The unlimited day rate for Cambodia falls from $3.22 at 7 days to $2.49 at 30 days, with full speed for the first 2 GB each day.
Every unlimited tier for Cambodia
| Duration | Total price | Per day |
|---|---|---|
| 1 day | $3.66 | $3.66 |
| 3 days | $10.43 | $3.48 |
| 7 days | $22.55 | $3.22 |
| 14 days | $40.99 | $2.93 |
| 30 days | $74.66 | $2.49 |
Full speed up to 2GB per day. After that a fair-use limit slows the line.
Refund window and support on a long booking
Long stays get booked early, and dates move. HelloRoam and Holafly hold the refund window open 180 days on unused plans. Airalo closes at 14 days, so a plan bought two months before departure is past its window before the trip starts. An eSIM that fails on arrival needs a channel that is open. HelloRoam and Holafly list round-the-clock support. HelloRoam's support replies in your own language and Holafly's runs in 10 languages.

Wi-Fi in Cambodia is good. Rely on Wi-Fi at co-working spaces and cafes for video calls and large uploads. Use your eSIM data for transit, navigation, and messaging.

Plans beyond borders
Regional plan options for travelers extending beyond Cambodia.
Who sells a multi-country plan
HelloRoam's largest multi-country plan covers 127 destinations on one eSIM and Airalo's covers 130. Saily, Nomad, and Holafly also sell regional or global plans, with no destination count on record here. Crossing three or more borders on single-country plans means buying a separate plan in each country and switching profiles at each one, so check that every stop sits on one plan before you buy.
Local apps and connectivity
What apps work in Cambodia
Connectivity habits in Cambodia shape which apps and services work best during your trip. Standard travel apps (Google Maps, WhatsApp, ride-hailing) work on all eSIM plans. Download offline maps and translation packs before departure to reduce data use.
Check before you fly which apps you rely on work in Cambodia. Local payment apps and transit apps may improve your travel experience. Download them over WiFi before your trip to save eSIM data.
Work remotely
Remote work connectivity in Cambodia
Remote work in Cambodia requires 3 to 5GB per workday for video calls, file syncing, and cloud applications. This site runs no speed tests, so it does not say how video calls hold up. Check signal strength at your accommodation before scheduling bandwidth-heavy meetings.
Unlimited daily plans at $3.66/day remove data anxiety for unpredictable workdays, with full speed for the first 2 GB each day. Tethering support varies by provider: verify hotspot capabilities before purchase.
Timing your trip
Seasonal data planning for Cambodia
Cambodia attracts visitors year-round. Network speeds stay consistent outside of major local events and holidays. Size your plan to your trip length regardless of travel month.
During peak season consider unlimited data at $3.66/day so the data does not run out, with full speed for the first 2 GB each day. Off-peak, the 7-day unlimited plan at $22.55 covers a standard 7-day trip, with full speed for the first 2 GB each day.

FAQ
Cambodia trip planning questions
Q1Which eSIM plan fits a weekend trip to Cambodia?
A 3-day trip to Cambodia on Cellcard's 4G LTE network needs 1.5GB for a light user (maps and messages only), so the 3GB at $7.99 is enough. A moderate user using social media and navigation needs 4 to 5GB, so go with the 5GB at $11.49. Heavy users streaming or video-calling need 10GB or more; buy the largest fixed plan available. For a typical weekend traveler, the 5GB at $11.49 fits most weekend travelers without overpaying for unused data.
Q2How does eSIM cost change for 7 vs 14 vs 30 days in Cambodia?
Per-day data cost in Cambodia drops as trip length increases. 7 days: 20GB plan at $28.80 total ($4.11/day). 14 days: 20GB plan at $28.80 total ($2.06/day). 30 days: unlimited at $2.49/day (32% off base rate), with full speed for the first 2 GB each day. The 14-day bracket balances daily rate and flexibility for most travelers visiting Cambodia.
Q3Can I top up or extend my eSIM mid-trip in Cambodia?
Running low on data in Cambodia? All five providers offer in-app top-ups that land on the profile already installed. Airalo lets you buy additional data through the app in real time, and the top-up lands on the eSIM profile already installed. Unlimited plans are also sold by the day: the 1-day Cambodia plan in the plan table costs $3.66, with full speed for the first 2 GB each day. Saily and Nomad both support fixed-data top-ups with no reinstallation. A top-up of 1GB costs $3.99, the same as buying a new plan. Buying a larger plan upfront is cheaper per GB than topping up, but the option is always available if you underestimate your usage.
Q4Does eSIM work in Cambodia?
Yes, eSIMs work in Cambodia. The network section on this page lists the local operators for Cambodia; the list does not say which one a phone joins. Samsung Galaxy S22 and later, iPhone XS and later, and Google Pixel 4a and later are all compatible. Make sure your device is unlocked from its original carrier, then scan the QR code before you leave home.
Q5Does unused Cambodia eSIM data roll over to the next trip?
No. Travel eSIM data in Cambodia expires at the end of the plan validity window, and unused gigabytes do not carry over to future trips or additional purchases. Buy a plan that matches your actual trip length, not a larger buffer. The 20 GB Cambodia plan at $28.80 lasts 30 days from activation; data left when it ends does not carry over. If you change plans before installing, HelloRoam refunds an unactivated eSIM for 180 days, the same window Holafly gives unused plans, against 14 days at Airalo.
Q6How many days of data does a typical Cambodia trip use?
A typical traveler in Cambodia burns through 1 to 2GB per day on maps, messaging, and social media. A 7-day trip needs 7 to 14GB; a 14-day trip needs 14 to 21GB. The 20GB plan at $28.80 fits a week-long trip.
Q7Is Cambodia a good destination for eSIM coverage in Asia?
The network section on this page lists the local operators for Cambodia; the list does not say which one a phone joins. This site holds no coverage map and runs no speed tests, so it grades no city or rural coverage. Check the network section before choosing a plan for off-the-beaten-path itineraries.
Q8Is a 7-day or 14-day Cambodia eSIM plan better value?
Longer plans in Cambodia cost less per day than shorter ones. A 7-day stay fits the 20GB plan at $28.80 ($4.11/day). A 14-day stay fits the 20GB plan at $28.80 ($2.06/day). Buying one correctly-sized plan costs less than buying two smaller plans back-to-back.
Q9What 4G LTE coverage can I expect on a full Cambodia itinerary?
The network section on this page lists the local operators for Cambodia; the list does not say which one a phone joins. None of the 2 operators on that list carries a 5G label. A 5G label on that list is a technology label, not a speed. For a full-country itinerary, check the operator list before finalizing your plan.
Q10Should I get a fixed data plan or unlimited for a Cambodia trip?
Fixed data plans fit trips under 7 days in Cambodia. At 1.5GB/day the 20GB plan at $28.80 covers a 7-day trip with data to spare. Unlimited for 7 days costs $22.55, with full speed for the first 2 GB each day, which is comparable to a fixed plan. Switch to unlimited if you stream video daily, work remotely, or use navigation continuously. A 14-day unlimited plan costs $40.99 ($2.93/day), with full speed for the first 2 GB each day.
