Local sim card
Mobile communications in Cambodia are relatively well developed; in recent years, cellular communications have covered almost all cities and large towns in the country. The main operators in the country are Metfone, MobiTel and Samart. Also, the Russian mobile operator Beeline has recently appeared in the country.
You can buy a local SIM card at call centers and communication salons; for the purchase, you must provide a copy or original of your passport. However, there is an easier way - to buy a SIM card in small shops with electronics, where you do not need a passport. The cost of a SIM card is about $3 (12,000 riel) with zero balance.
You can replenish the balance by purchasing a prepaid card. The cost of cards is from $2 (8000 riels). Also, mobile phone payments are accepted in many stores with appliances and supermarkets. The cost of a minute of international communication is about $0.15 (about 600 riel).
Many telecom operators in Cambodia have a system in which, having replenished the balance, you need to spend it within a certain time limit (usually a week or a month). If it was not possible to “speak” all the money, then they are frozen in the account. You can activate them again by making a new payment to your mobile account.
Travel sim card
A tourist SIM card is another fairly economical way to call Russia. The cost of a tourist SIM card usually ranges from 400-500 rubles. The cost of calls to Russia is about 40 rubles. per minute, incoming - about 20 rubles.
Mobile communications in Cambodia, as well as in Russia, operate in the GSM 900/1800 standard.
Telephony in Cambodia
Telephone communication in the country is relatively poorly developed; long-distance and international calls can be made from most hotels, post offices and public telephone offices. Also on the streets of large cities and in tourist areas there are informal call centers, usually small tents or kiosks. There are relatively few pay phones on the streets of large cities and in tourist areas.
Calls are made using Phonecards, which can be bought at post offices, supermarkets and some hotels. The cost of the card is from $10 (about 40,000 riels), and the cost of a call abroad is from $3 (12,000 riels). The cost of cards outside of Phnom Penh and tourist areas may be higher. Calls from pay phones and call centers are not very profitable compared to other means of communication.
Roaming in Cambodia
Roaming of Russian operators operates on the territory of Cambodia. This is less profitable than a local SIM card, but cheaper than calls from post offices and pay phones.

Wired Internet in Cambodia is available in large cities, in terms of quality it differs little from Russian standards. However, lines for the Internet are stretched mainly in the central areas of cities, and there is practically no wired Internet on the urban outskirts. Much better with 3G internet in Cambodia. The cellular network covers almost all cities and towns, and local operators offer relatively cheap rates. 3G modems with local SIM cards are also popular.
Wi-Fi internet in Cambodia is available only in hotels and some restaurants. If the Internet is required quickly, and there is no way to connect it, then you can use the services of numerous Internet cafes, where the cost of 1 hour on the World Wide Web is about $ 1 (4000 riels).
The Huami brand, backed by the Chinese company Xiaomi, introduced the Huangshan No. 1 (MHS001), designed specifically for wearable devices.
The said chip is said to be the world's first piece of wearable gadgets with artificial intelligence (AI). We are talking about an integrated neural network.
It is reported that the processor has four AI engines. They are responsible for functions such as heart rate analysis, taking an electrocardiogram, etc.
The new chip uses the RISC-V architecture. The developer talks about low power consumption, which will increase the battery life of wearable devices.
Gadgets based on Huangshan No. 1 (MHS001) will be able to perform a wide range of operations in real time. This is, in particular, tracking user actions, biometric identification, displaying various notifications, etc.
The first wearable devices with the new chip are expected to see the light of day next year. The announcement of such gadgets will take place in the first or second quarters of 2019.
Through 2022, the wearables market is projected by IDC to achieve a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%. Thus, by 2022, its volume will reach 190.4 million pieces.

The State Space Agency of Ukraine expects that the launch of the first Ukrainian telecommunications satellite "Lybid" will take place in August 2019. As the head of the State Space Agency of Ukraine Pavlo Degtyarenko noted on Monday, such forecasts can be realized if the Canadian contractor resumes work on the project before the end of this year.
In 2009, the State Space Agency of Ukraine signed a contract with the Canadian company MDA for the production of a satellite and the construction on the territory of Ukraine of an object of ground support infrastructure for its use. The Russian company Information Satellite Systems (ISS) acted as a subcontractor responsible, among other things, for the satellite platform and payload module design. The total amount of funding for the program was approved in the amount of 38.5 billion hryvnia ($1.5 billion).
“First, we need to return the Canadians (the Canadian contractor MDA) to the project, we have been communicating for about a year, after which it will take about eight months to launch the satellite. If we manage to return them this year, then we will complete the launch vehicle and somewhere before By the end of August next year, we will launch the device," UNIAN quoted him as saying. At the same time, Degtyarev added that a pessimistic scenario for launching the project is also possible. "The pessimistic scenario - they (the Canadian company) will resist, we will finish the consideration of the case in the London arbitration, I hope that we will win, they will return the money for the project, and we will have to create new spacecraft. This may take another five years," he stressed .
In April 2018, data were provided on the website of the specialized Internet portal spaceflight101.com, according to which Lybid could be launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome using a three-stage Zenit-3SLBF launch vehicle in the second half of 2018. To put it into orbit, it is planned to use the Fregat upper stage. At the same time, the general director of ISS, Nikolay Testoedov, said that the launch date of the device is unknown. He explained this by the fact that the company has no information about plans to launch it from the Canadian company that ordered it.
Earlier it was reported that the Ukrainian company Yuzhmash expects to transfer $8.245 million to complete the construction of the Zenit-2SLB rocket to launch the satellite. At the same time, it was not specified from whom exactly the company expects the receipt of funds.
The Lybid satellite was planned to be launched back in 2011, but the launch is constantly delayed for various reasons, among which were the financial problems of Canadian partners and problems with the financing of Yuzhmash.

It seems that the new generation of Samsung Galaxy A smartphones will become even closer to the flagships. They are already credited with triple cameras, under-screen fingerprint scanners, and now here's the SoC Snapdragon 845!
So far, there are no details about the new product. There is an assumption that this model will be exclusive to China or the maximum will also appear on the Indian market. If so, then this means that the smartphone will not be the successor to the Galaxy A8 and Galaxy A8 + models. Perhaps it will be called the Galaxy A9.
In any case, the appearance of such a smartphone will be very interesting, as it will indicate certain changes in Samsung's strategy. Actually, the company itself recently spoke about this.
But if the novelty really comes out only in China, we can assume that it will receive an unusually low cost for Samsung devices of this class in order to compete with Chinese manufacturers.
Communications in Cambodia
With the spread of mobile phones, communication between the main cities of the country has improved significantly. Many urban telephone lines were destroyed during the Khmer Rouge years and have not yet been fully restored. This problem not only hinders business development, but also causes high prices for Internet services throughout the country, with the exception of Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. More recently, mail destined for Cambodia had to be picked up in Bangkok. Now the quality of postal services has improved, but incoming letters that attract the attention of postal workers often disappear (for which there is no explanation).
All postal correspondence is sent to Phnom Penh. It is possible to send mail not only from the capital, but from other cities of the country, although this is more expensive, since you additionally have to pay the cost of sending mail to Phnom Penh. In the capital itself, mail for delivery abroad is accepted only at the main post office.
Delivery of mail to Europe, Australia and North America takes 5 to 10 days, it is sent from Phnom Penh twice a week. Sending days can be checked at the main post office. Postage stamps sent from Phnom Penh cost 1,800 riel to Europe and Australia and 2,100 riel to America. If you send a postcard from other cities, the stamps will cost you 300 riels more.
Parcel can only be sent from Phnom Penh. When sending a package abroad, there is a very large fee of $ 17 for each kilogram, so it is easier to send a package from Thailand if you are going there. You will need to pay 3,000 riel to fill out a customs form (description of the package and estimate of its value), but it is not necessary to present the package itself.
Telephone communications
Domestic and international calls can be made at post or telephone offices in most cities. Telephone services are provided by the government-owned Camintel network, which, in conjunction with the Australian company Telstra, also operates public pay phones in Phnom Penh. You need a phone card to use the pay phone. Cards are sold in amounts ranging from $2 to $50. With a Tele 2 card, you can make international calls from any pay phone: dial the access code 007 (instead of the usual 001), then the country code and the number you need. The cost of 1 minute of an international call is about $3. However, in online stores, small hotels and travel agencies, you can find half the price.
Domestic calls can be made at low cost in glass telephone booths. In this case, you need to pay directly to the person serving the booth. Phone booths do not cover all telephone networks in the country: the available numbers are usually written on the booth itself (usually these are the numbers of the MobiTel operator (code 012) and some other operators).
Fax transmission in Cambodia is very expensive: $3-$6 per page. In this case, please contact the relevant hotel services or online stores.
mobile connection
The following mobile operators operate in Cambodia: M Phone (code 011), MobiTel (code 012), Beeline (code 090), Smart Mobile (code 010), Cube (code 013), MetFone (code 097). MobiTel is the largest operator and is represented in all major cities, although the call can only be made within the city. A mobile phone can be rented upon arrival at Pochentong International Airport for approximately $28 per week. You can use it with a phone card (worth from $5 to $100). Most cities have points of sale with logos of various operators. Having bought a card, erase the protective layer, under which there is a PIN code. Dial the number also written on the card and enter the PIN code to activate the card. A call within the same mobile network or to a landline costs about $0.20 per minute.
"I use a Smart SIM card. Calls to Russia cost $0.13 per minute. Just call +7 network code, subscriber number, the connection quality is very good. As for the Internet, the speeds here are not very high. For example, I pay for 1 megabit of unlimited traffic $ 35 per month, 2 megabits will cost $ 70. There are no problems with the presence of the Internet in restaurants and just in Internet cafes."
Internet
Internet cafe
The easiest way to get online is in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap, where you will always find an online store or Internet cafe nearby. The cost of an hour of service is less than $1. In other areas of the country, the situation is different: even in Battambang and Sihanoukville, Internet access is not so easy to find, and the price is higher - up to $ 3 per hour. The best way to stay connected while traveling in Cambodia is to sign up for a free email address (such as Yahoo Mail, Hotmail or Skype) that you can access from anywhere. You will be able to send emails from any Internet cafe or their hotel that has Internet access.
ISPs such as Online, Telesurf, AngkorNet, Mekong Net, WirelessIp, Ezecom offer their services at reasonable prices. An Internet card can be purchased at any store or supermarket for $5 to $100. Many cafes and restaurants (among them - M Cafe, the Corner restaurant, Cafe Sentiment) have free WI-FI, so in order to use the Internet, you only need to come there with your laptop.

Traveling around Cambodia, you will definitely not be left without communication. The networks of mobile operators are well developed, they have an ideal coverage of more than 95% of the territory. There are 6 mobile operators in the country, one of which operates in the CDMA standard, and another one is just developing. We will focus on three main GSM technologies: 2G, 3G, 4G. After all, it is this standard that is most common in Russia and our phone or tablet supports it.
Metphone - the largest mobile operator in Cambodia. Serves9 million subscribers. NetMobitel works in three standards 2G,
3
G with very good coverage. 4
G currently only available in major cities.
Smart (Axiatra)
– the second operator in terms of the number of subscribers: more than 5.4 million subscribers. The operator's network has good coverage of 2G and 3G standards. 4G is also available, which is still at the implementation stage.
Cellcard (Mobitel/
CamGSM) is Cambodia's third-largest mobile operator in terms of the number of subscribers. It has 2.5 million voice and mobile Internet users. Despite the large number of brands and tariff lines, it could not compete with the first two giants, and so far it is slowly increasing its subscriber base. The operator's network also has good coverage, but is inferior in quality to other operators.
