More than 25 eSIM providers and an extensive range of prepaid data plans are available for Myanmar. This wide variety makes it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.
There are currently no unlimited data eSIM plans for Myanmar. Travelers should estimate their data usage based on the types of internet activities they plan to do—such as streaming, social media, navigation, and background updates—and choose a plan that offers a data allowance comfortably above that estimate. This approach helps ensure a smooth online experience during the trip.
Myanmar offers several major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) that provide extensive coverage and services suitable for travelers:
MPT (Myanmar Posts and Telecommunications): The state-owned operator and the oldest in the country, offering the widest network coverage across Myanmar.
Ooredoo Myanmar: A subsidiary of the Qatari telecommunications company Ooredoo, known for competitive plans and fast data speeds, particularly in urban areas.
Telenor Myanmar: Part of the Norwegian Telenor Group, providing a range of services with reliable coverage and network quality, especially in major cities and towns.
Mytel: A joint venture involving the Myanmar military's telecom company and international partners, rapidly expanding its network and services since its launch.
These MNOs offer various prepaid and postpaid plans, including options suitable for tourists. While Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) exist in Myanmar, they are still emerging and less prominent. Most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the major MNOs listed above.
