Myanmar at a glance
The numbers and facts you need before you dial.
What is the country code for Myanmar?
Myanmar's international country code is +95. The key rule is the trunk 0: inside the country, numbers carry a leading 0 (01 for Yangon landlines, 09 for mobiles), but when you call from abroad you replace that 0 with your exit code and 95. So a domestic 09 becomes +95 9 internationally.
In full international (E.164) form a Myanmar number looks like +95 1 XXX XXXX (Yangon) or +95 9 XXX XXX XXX (mobile). The domestic trunk 0 is dropped after +95.
All four mean the same thing — they connect your call to Myanmar.
How to call Myanmar from anywhere
Three steps in order: start with your exit code, add 95, then append the Myanmar number with its leading 0 removed.
Full example: +95 1 XXX XXXX — drop the local leading 0 when calling from abroad.
Myanmar phone number format explained
Myanmar numbers are not all the same length. Landlines follow 0 + area code + subscriber digits, while mobiles open with 09 and run longer (commonly 09 plus 7–9 digits). A national renumbering exercise standardized many lines in recent years, so you may still encounter older, shorter formats that no longer connect.
Landline
0 + area code + number, e.g. 01 XXX XXXX (Yangon) → +95 1 XXX XXXX internationally.
Mobile
09 XXX XXX XXX → +95 9 XXX XXX XXX internationally. Every mobile starts 09. Portability is in place, so the digits do not reliably indicate the current carrier.

Myanmar mobile network prefixes
The prefix after +95 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.
MPT (Myanma Posts and Telecommunications)
Ooredoo Myanmar
Mytel (Telecom International Myanmar)
ATOM (formerly Telenor Myanmar)
Myanmar time zone
Myanmar keeps Myanmar Time (MMT) at UTC+6:30 year-round, with no daylight saving. The half-hour offset is the detail to remember — it places Myanmar 30 minutes behind Thailand and 30 minutes ahead of Bangladesh, so scheduling tools that assume whole-hour zones can mislead you.
A Yangon morning aligns with business hours across much of Asia; by late afternoon the overlap shifts to European mornings.

Almost every failed international call is a formatting issue, not a network issue.
Misreading the half-hour offset
Myanmar runs on UTC+6:30, not a whole-hour zone, so a call timed to "Myanmar = Bangkok" lands 30 minutes early. Calculate against 6:30, not 6 or 7.
Keeping the leading 0 after +95
drop it (dial +95 1…, not +95 01…); the 0 is for domestic dialing only.
Relying on an old short number
the national renumbering changed many lines, so a number from years ago may simply fail to connect.
Reading the carrier off a 09 prefix
portability makes the prefix an unreliable guide to MPT, Ooredoo, ATOM or Mytel.
Dialing 911
Myanmar uses 199 (police), 191 (fire) and 192 (ambulance).
Tips to reduce the cost of calling Myanmar
Route calls through VoIP or a virtual Myanmar number rather than carrier international tariffs.
Use Wi-Fi calling or messaging apps for personal calls wherever the connection holds up.
Map your call times against UTC+6:30 precisely, so you reach people first time instead of missing the window by half an hour.
For business, host a Myanmar DID so local customers dial an in-country number at local rates.
Why businesses get a Myanmar virtual number
As Myanmar's mobile market matured rapidly after liberalization, customers grew used to dealing with in-country numbers — a local 01 (Yangon) or 09 line signals you're reachable here, not routing them overseas.
Better answer rates
an in-country number is far more likely to be picked up than an unfamiliar foreign one.
Less hesitation
a +95 caller ID reads as local rather than international.
Lower cost for callers
customers reach you at local rates.
One routing point
direct every Myanmar call to whichever team should handle it.
Quicker entry
establish a Myanmar presence without opening a physical office.
Genuine network presence
a real Myanmar DID on the public network.

Myanmar +95 — FAQ
Why is Myanmar's time zone UTC+6:30 instead of a round hour?expand_more
— Myanmar Time uses a half-hour offset, one of only a handful of zones worldwide that do. It runs all year with no daylight saving, so always calculate against +6:30 exactly.
How does the trunk 0 work when calling Myanmar from abroad?expand_more
— Inside Myanmar numbers carry a leading 0 (01, 09); from abroad you drop that 0 and dial your exit code + 95 + the rest, so 09… becomes +95 9….
Why does an old Myanmar number sometimes fail to connect?expand_more
— A national renumbering modernized many lines, and older shorter numbers from before that change may no longer be valid.
What's the difference between Naypyidaw and Yangon?expand_more
— Naypyidaw is the capital and has area code 67; Yangon is the largest city and commercial hub, with area code 1.
How do I dial a Yangon landline from overseas?expand_more
— Use +95 1 followed by the subscriber number — the domestic 01 becomes 1 after the country code.
Can I tell which network a Myanmar mobile is on from its number?expand_more
— Not reliably. Operators had original 09 sub-ranges, but portability means a number may have moved between MPT, Ooredoo, ATOM or Mytel.
What is ATOM, and was it Telenor?expand_more
— ATOM is the operator that took over the former Telenor Myanmar business; numbers and service continue under the ATOM name.
Can a business outside Myanmar get a Myanmar number?expand_more
— Yes — MCM provisions virtual Myanmar DIDs (subject to availability) and routes calls to your team anywhere.
