Cellcard is the only telco in Cambodia that ’ s 100 % Cambodian owned . Not only is it proud of its homegrown heritage , it ’ s part of the company ’ s identity , outlook and market position .
“ The Cambodian set of family values is at the core of everything we do ,” says Cellcard ’ s CEO Ian Watson . “ The European companies have strong brand association , but we always say you can ’ t be selfgoverned on the outside unless you ’ ve got Cellcard DNA on the inside . And every year we give a lot back to the customers . We ’ re approaching millions of dollars in promotion , prizes and giveaways over the past couple of years , and we ’ ve signed Cambodian talent to endorse Cellcard , and we ’ ve installed 5G telemedicine – free voice and data calls to doctors , nurses and medical staff – to help with Covid .”
