In recent months, Cellcard has focused on delivering exceptional value to its customers through network enhancements, expanded digital services, and superior customer experience.

This state-of-the-art center blends tradition with cutting-edge technology to redefine customer service in Cambodia. Cellcard continues to drive exceptional customer experiences in the flagship store in the heart of the CBD, which is also the locale of numerous real estate projects that will drive increased office, retail, and residential occupancy in the surrounding area.
The company was proud to showcase the inaugural launch of the new iPhone16 and other Apple products in a space designed specifically for comfort and ease of product discovery within an Iconic space. A bright and airy hall leverages a historic landmark.
