Carriers & prefixes

Mobile prefixes by carrier.

Number portability status unverified.

Porting rules in full

We found nothing from the PTD or the operators saying whether numbers can be ported, so this is marked unverified.

Both foreign-owned operators have changed hands, but the ITU notifications still register their ranges under the old names: Telenor Group completed the sale of Telenor Myanmar to M1 Group on 25 March 2022, after which it was renamed ATOM; Ooredoo Group sold Ooredoo Myanmar to Nine Communication in May 2024 (Ooredoo's H1 2024 results), and according to Mobile World Live it was later renamed U9.

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.

Keeping the number
MPT FAQ: activate within 180 days of registration (call, SMS, USSD or top-up); once active the SIM carries 365 days’ validity, but a top-up is required within 60 days of activation or it goes to a 30-day One-Way Block (incoming only), then a 60-day Two-Way Block, then the recycle stage — reactivation must be requested at an MPT own shop within 60 days or the number is reassigned
ID check
Foreigners register with a passport; at most two SIMs per ID with one operator (ATOM’s site, citing the PTD rule)
SMS & calls
A normal Myanmar number; cost of receiving SMS while roaming in China not verified

Watch out

  • A top-up is due within 60 days of activation — easy to miss from abroad
