Going to Phnom Penh shortly, does anyone know which SIM to get for calling, and, mainly, data. Google maps is so great... if I have a data connection
Preferably 3G with iPhone...

Pretty sure you can only buy a sim with a Cambodian ID or residency, I'm sure though for a few dollars you can find a friendly Cambo willing to put pen to paper for you, that's what I did, Mfone was reccomended, as for 3G... well, have you been to Cambodia before?
I think it highly unlikely that you would have 3G coverage even in PP, but I could be wrong. Try Khmer440 website they should be able to put you right.
Thanks for the tip with the Khmer440 forum - took me a while to find the forum on that site but seems like there's many ppl on it.
Weird you'd need a residency for a prepaid, never seen that. Even in Europe, you can usually just buy it without any documentation, in the USA they want a passport. But like you said, that just increases the price by a Dollar
BTW.. typical grass is greener thing with 3G in Cambo - from what I read, it doesn't really work and if it does it's dead slow, slower than EDGE.... so much for all those who say "even Cambodia has 3G now". Nah. Not really.
You're welcome. Enjoy your trip.
When i was in Sisophon last year, i wanted to get a Cambodian SIM. the girl spoke limited English and i could barely make out the word no and passport. i then saw a poster in Khmer and English for HAPPY. so i asked about it and she said passport, so i gave her my British passport. she excepted it without any questions. whether or not i got overcharged or not i dont know. i just wanted a blasted SIM
