In the most remote regions of Cambodia, where daily life still faces many deprivations, technical vehicles bearing the Metfone logo diligently traverse bumpy roads. They arrive not merely to erect stations or pull cables, but to bring hope and connection — ensuring the local people feel that, no matter where they are, they always have a companion by their side.
‘Where the people are, the signal is there’
On a rainy evening in the Preah Vihear region, a sudden power outage disrupted communications, leaving residents anxious as they could not contact their loved ones. In the middle of the night, Metfone engineers set out once again. Their small technical vehicle overcame muddy roads, carrying not just equipment but also a sense of urgency: “We must restore the signal for the people tonight”.
When phone screens lit up again, the people cheered with joy. For them, it was not just a telecommunications signal, but a signal of safety. It was the first call after hours of silence, a text message sent to say, “Everyone is okay”.
During those difficult days, Metfone did more than just ensure connectivity; they offered practical sharing: a free 1GB/day data support package for residents in affected areas, and over 1,000 care packages containing essentials handed directly to households in need. These small but meaningful gifts helped everyone stand firmer in the face of adversity.
The familiar motto “Where the people are, the signal is there” is not just a working principle; it has become a way of life for every Metfone employee — individuals who believe that technology only truly has value when it is rooted in the heart of compassion.
16 Years of Companionship – Connecting with Heart
Metfone’s journey in Cambodia is written not just by the numbers — hundreds of base stations or millions of subscribers — but by countless small stories; moments that are simple yet profoundly meaningful.
In the majestic Dângrêk Mountains, where once there was only the sound of wind and fog, Metfone signal towers now rise proudly. In remote villages in Pursat, Battambang or Oddar Meanchey, residents can now make calls, access the Internet, study online and stay updated with daily news for the first time.
With over 500 base stations covering borders, islands and remote regions, Metfone is not merely a network operator, but a trusted companion to the authorities and people of Cambodia. From the grey-shirted engineers climbing antennas in high winds to the staff delivering gifts to households in the rain, they all carry a simple belief: “Connect to share, connect to overcome hardships together”.
16 years — a short span in history, yet enough for Metfone to become a symbol of resilience and compassion. For them, the “signal” is not just a technical indicator; it is a thread connecting people through love, responsibility and faith in a brighter future.
