International Roaming: Stay connected while traveling abroad through Smart's roaming partnerships, useful for both Cambodians and visitors on Smart SIMs. Prepaid & Postpaid Plans: Choose a prepaid SIM for short-term or flexible use, or a postpaid plan for regular monthly service. How to Get Started: Visit a Smart Axiata store or authorized dealer, or check smart.com.kh for current plans. Provide identification (a Cambodian ID or passport for visitors) to register a SIM, as required by Cambodian telecom regulation. Activate your SIM and top up if using a prepaid plan. Manage your account, check data usage and pay bills through the Smart mobile app. Important Notice: 5G coverage is still expanding following its January 2026 commercial launch, so availability may be limited to Phnom Penh and other major cities at first; 4G and 2G remain the most widely available service tiers across the rest of the country.
