The telecommunication infrastructure has developed a lot in Cambodia over the past couple of decades. Making phone calls is easy and there are also chances to save money on international phone calls if you use the right provider.
If you would like to make a phone call within Cambodia, you usually dial the entire number with a “0” at the beginning of the number e.g. 012-000-000, 078-000-000.
The area codes are listed below and only fixed local numbers should be added, e.g. 053-000-000 Battambang, 042-000-000, Kampong Cham.
The international access code of Cambodia is 001 which is used to make international phone calls. To make an international call from Cambodia, you first have to dial 001, then the country code, area code, and the local number. (e.g. from Cambodia to Canada 001-1-509-000-0000)
Mobile numbers are eight digits and the newer phone numbers are nine digits.
Cambodia has more than 30 prefixes among nine mobile operators. They all have six digits apart from MetPhone.
Saving money on calls (especially international ones) is possible in Cambodia. VoipStunt and international calling cards are useful for expats in Cambodia who make regular calls home.
VoipStunt is a free program to communicate all over the world, however, the network can be very bad. You can call regular phones anywhere for free or at a low rate. The VoipStunt rates in Cambodia are as following: Cambodia landline, €0.029 Cambodia mobile, €0.032. Skype is another popular VoIP programme and is freely available in Cambodia.
