Is roaming with Mytel worth it?
Roaming with Mytel is, in general, expensive.
Calls can cost you up to 10000 Kyats per minute, and receiving calls can cost you 2500 per minute. The issue is that these high prices apply to most of the destinations (172) instead of just a select few.
Using data can cost you 17000 Kyats per MB, which is excessive. You would be charged almost 17.5 million Kyats for using 1 GB of data while abroad.
In fact, Mytel is one of the most expensive providers I have reviewed so far, and I have seen some insane roaming rates so far.
However, roaming on standard roaming rates in Cambodia (Metfone), Laos (Unitel), Peru (Bitel), Timor-Leste (Telemor), and Viet Nam (Viettel) is cheap, especially compared to the other destinations. There, you would be charged 125 Kyats per minute for local calls, calls to Myanmar, and incoming calls. Calling to the rest of the world is still expensive at 1500 Kyats per minute, which should be avoided. Sending an SMS would be charged at 30 Kyats while using data would be charged at 15 Kyats per MB. That is a steal compared to the other rates.
Additionally, the roaming packs for Bangladesh, China, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam are packs I would gladly consider if I want to roam with Mytel. I hope they will add more destinations to these offers, as that would make things much cheaper.
If you are out, I would recommend using WIFI hotspots and use internet-based applications such as Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, and Skype to stay in touch with your friends and family.
In short, roaming with Mytel is not worth it unless you roam with specific networks in a handful of destinations. Else, roaming with Mytel should be avoided and getting a local sim or an international sim should be considered.
