SIM cards & keeping a number

All SIMs in Myanmar must be registered; foreigners use a passport. ATOM’s site states that under a Post & Telecommunications Department rule effective 1 April 2019, one ID may hold at most two SIMs with the same operator, and unregistered SIMs were barred and then terminated from 2020.

MPT publishes a clear prepaid lifecycle: after registration you have 180 days to activate the SIM with a call, SMS, USSD or top-up; once active it carries 365 days of validity, but you must top up within 60 days of activation or it enters a 30-day One-Way Block (incoming only), then a 60-day Two-Way Block (nothing in or out), and finally the recycle stage — you then have 60 days to apply for reactivation at an MPT own shop before the number goes to a new customer.
