With such a wide variety of options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that meets 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.
Yes, there are travel eSIM plans for Myanmar that provide a phone number and SMS capabilities. The primary providers that offer such plans are GlobaleSIM and Earth Esim. GlobaleSIM’s packages use the dialing code +1 and support inbound and outbound voice calls as well as inbound SMS; prices begin at $7.00 USD for a 1GB data plan valid for 7 days and go up to $67.00 USD for 20GB data valid for 30 days. Earth Esim offers a 51GB plan priced at $24.00 USD for 30 days, also with dialing code +33 and supports both inbound and outbound voice and SMS.
All of these plans issue phone numbers from foreign dialing codes (+1 or +33), so they are not local Myanmar numbers. Travelers who need local Myanmar numbers would need to seek a separate provider that offers the Myanmar dialing code, or they can use these foreign numbers for data and VoIP communication (e.g., WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage) while relying on the eSIM data for connectivity.
