Roaming - issues setting up Android
Hi seb11 Yes, you will need a roaming add on in Cambodia, but data will cost £1.00 per MB.
Make sure that roaming is also enabled in the settings of the phone you are now using.
If the phone you are now using has eSIM capability, I would suggest an eSIM provider like Sparks or Airalo to get data up and running.
The Smarty price list for Cambodia and other useful info is here :
Let me try get an odd-on and see if I can receive a text message from the UK. This is literally the only scenario I need to make happen - for my day-to-day data needs I've got a local Cambodian SIM. It's just these pesky OTP messages for a few key apps registered on my SMARTY number . The strange thing is - I'm positive I never bought a roaming add-on before, and I received texts sent from the UK while abroad here (or perhaps I simply forgot!) I'll get back with the results.
EDIT
I bought a £5 out-of-plan addon and I'm still getting 'No Service - Emergency calls only' and zero bars on the network interface 😞 I tried turning Airplane mode on/off to give it a chance to reconnect - still no results.
