Pandemonium breaks out at mobile shops as MPT slashes SIM prices

Cheap MPT SIMs cause shop queues

Myanma Post and Telecommunications (MPT) attracted queues of SIM buyers to Yangon shops last week by offering SIMs for K1500 – well below prices which previously stretched into the hundreds or thousands of US dollars in the past decade.
