As per topic;
Can I top up my Metfone account through the ABA-app from abroad?
According to Metfone's website not, but that information may be outdated.
Thanks.
Can I top up Metfone through ABA from abroad?
Thank you for your reply Alexandra.
Because one of those sweet Metfone office ladies tried to explain me that the phone/sim must be in-country (Cambodia) in order successfully use the ABA-app, which I can hardly believe...
So did anyone already managed to top up his/her phone through the ABA-app from abroad when carrying his/her phone with him/her?
Thanks.
That’s not true, the ABA app works abroad. You can even change the SIM-card in your phone without problems, assuming that you set up the app and logged into your account while in country.6Pac wrote: ↑Fri Sep 02, 2022 5:59 pmBecause one of those sweet Metfone office ladies tried to explain me that the phone/sim must be in-country (Cambodia) in order successfully use the ABA-app, which I can hardly believe...
The only time you would have a problem is if you lost the app or logged out of it and you couldn’t use your Metfone SIM abroad.
Just try topping it up with the ABA app in Cambodia. If it works then it will work when you are abroad as well.

Alexandra is right, I frequently use the ABA app here in Vietnam though I haven't topped up a phone yet.

Seconding this. Banking and phone apps set up in Cambodia continued to work on my recent UK trip, just needed to have an internet connection. Oddly, leaving my cellcard SIM in but using a UK SIM card, I still got all cellcard (company)mmessages.
I absolutely agree with all the above (paying my taxes through ABA-app from abroad) but what the sweet lady tried to tell me is that the SIM (to be topped-up) must be in-country.
For all clarity: she didn't say that the ABA-app isn't working overseas. It defo is.
The reason I'm asking this is to keep my Cambodian number 'alive' when staying extended periods (+3M) outside the KoW.
Making a call or sending an SMS or using data will extend the recycling date by 60days but don't want to take the risk to run out of credit.
Will buy some scratch cards just in case... (see OP)
The question still stands... However hard to believe why it be possible to top up through ABA.
Thanks.

Not sure about Metfone but I topped up my cellcard number from abroad. No problem.

That's exactly what I did. Keeping fingers crossed now that Metfone's roaming services will work in the countries I'll be visiting (Western-Europa).
I manually activated their pre-paid roaming services.
