Is having a cell phone (with data) a big, expensive deal in Cambodia? Will be living in Kep. Can I use my phone from Germany there and simply buy a card for it?

As long as your phone is unlocked or you buy an unlocked phone then you will have no problem. 3G data is quite cheap. Sim cards are around a dollar. 3G Data from Metfone for example is $20 for 20 GB. http://www.metfone.com.kh/en/Services/M ... an.12.aspx

I'm not sure which company works best in Kep, someone else might be able to comment on that.

This might be common knowledge, but if you get a Smart card (which seems to work great in PP, but I'm told not the best for the countryside), after you buy your $1 card (which in the end will equal 1.5 gb), and type in the code that the card tells you, after that to multiply your credit dial: *656*100#

(Likewise, if you buy a $5 card, substitute the 100# for 500#)

Cheap mobile is offered by everyone. It's a Third World country, after all. But as others noted, wait and ask the locals what is the best service in Kep. Check the IT subforum for provider discussions. I've never been to Kep, BTW.

Yes, but you'll need to unlock it if it is sim locked.
Metfone works fine in Kep, both for calls and internet.
