SIM CARD

There is a Service provider called OOREDO and they have launched new service in 1.5 USD, so just get a new one...cheers!!

LOTS of reports of Ooredoo's network not properly working yet, as well as many shops selling the new Ooredoo sim cards marked up to 40,000 kyats from their initial price of 1,500 kyats. 
So ask around first.

Telenor (another new telco) will be launching their sim cards in a few weeks, so if you can't get a working Ooredoo sim card (or they are asking for an inflated price) then wait until the Telenor sim cards are released

Thank you very much

I heard on 1st Sept 2014, Myanmar Telecom (MPT) starts selling SIM card at market rate of USD1.50. I recommend using MPT as theirs has much better coverage area than new players (Ooredoo & Telenor).

All right !!!!! Goood information, thankyou very much! Do you know if it works in Iphones (GSM) ???

No problem in iPhones, you'll need to get the sim cut to size, they'll be able to do that in store for you with their magical mysterious cutting gadget
