I was reading through the official Myanmar Tourism website when I came across the following statement:
MOBILE PHONES
Hand Phones or Mobile Telephones from other countries currently do not operate in Myanmar. Customs will hold your telephone upon arrival and you can collect on your departure.
(http://www.myanmar-tourism.com/travel_tips.html)
Is this true, or is it government bluster? I have seen no hint of this anywhere else, although I understand that Myanmar SIM cards cost about $1000 for in-country use.
