Here we hv GSM, CDMA 450 & CDMA 800 systems. Government is planning to expend lots of GSM line with price around 300,000ks in first half of 2012. Also they are going to allow roaming and internet service like EDGE and 3G.(now limited qty of GSM phones can use EDGE internet) So, I think GSM system has more potential and you will hv more choices of handset frm Nokia, Samsung, Sonyericsson, etc... I won't recommend for CDMA 450 as it is Chinese developed system and you will end up with China made low quality handsets that can barely talk(no other functions) As for CDMA 800, it is quite good that you can use internet on it and it has better signal reception than GSM. You can find reasonable quality Hwawai brand handset with good functionalities. But the problem is gov now stopped giving CDMA 800 lines at Yangon as it has limited supply. Hope you get some idea now. Cheers! Ko Myo Hi Maw Maw,

They are planning to issue new subscriber GSM SIM cards but they are refilled by prepaid cards. You cannot buy these new subscriber/prepaid cards at phone shops anymore. You need to apply at Government telecommunication department. It cost around 500 US dollar a card. SMS in Myanmar is only available inside Myanmar. No SMS service to outside world. You can call to Singapore with these cards but it is quite expensive. Government does not issue new prepaid SIM cards anymore.

You will need to travel to Myanmar to buy one. You might be able to buy one at the airport although I am not sure whether any shop sells prepaid GSM cards at the airport or not.
