Catalysis of the reaction: RPO-R' + H2O = RPOOH + R'H. This reaction is the hydrolysis of any phosphoric ester bond, any ester formed from orthophosphoric acid, O=P(OH)3. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of phosphoric monoesters, releasing inorganic phosphate. Catalysis of the reaction: an orthophosphoric monoester + H2O = an alcohol + phosphate, with an acid pH optimum. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of thiamin phosphate.
