How to Call Myanmar from Abroad – dialing Mobile and Landline

Looking to contact people in Myanmar from abroad? Calling back home, for many, has never been so important. Unfortunately, international calls can be expensive—some providers charge up to $5 per minute—and network coverage varies across the country.

Mobile service in major cities like Yangon and Mandalay is generally strong, with 4G internet widely available. But in rural areas, coverage can be weak, and landlines are rarely used outside urban centers.

Choosing the right calling method is key. Yolla offers a cheaper, reliable way to stay connected—no matter where in Myanmar your contact is.

This guide walks you through the best ways to call Myanmar, step-by-step.
