No service in Myanmar

[Anonymous]

I don't get service when in Myanmar. Any suggestions?

Burma  (as it was) is one of those countries where mobile usage can be very limited. I had problems there even though I was on contract. I ended up with a local sim card but had to present my passport...quaint.

Yes, roaming switched on. Pay monthly user. iPhone 5s. Works as expected in Bangkok during transfer to Myanmar. Do O2 have a roaming agreement with MPT, Telenor, or Ooredoo - the three networks in Myanmar?

Local Sim doesn't work in iPhone 5s. Tried it.

Have you had the phone unlocked by O2, so it will work with another network, otherwise a local sim won't work?

Contract Customers should be able to use MPT network.

No, I haven't tried that. Is there a particular team I need to approach in O2 to get that done? And are there any side effects/implications?

Sadly not, in my experience (7 visits in past 12 months)

Guide to unlocking phone here which will allow the use of any other networks sim card.
Nothing else will be effected on the phone http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Other-Products-Services/Unlocking-an-O2-phone-to-use-a-different-SIM-ca...
