In February 2013, Telenor participated in the bidding for newly available Myanmar mobile licences.
On 27 June 2013, it was announced that Telenor had been awarded one of two 15-year contracts for telecom development in Myanmar. Telenor is the only provider of the program in Myanmar.
Telenor received its licence from the Government of Myanmar to officially start mobile network operations on 5 February 2014. Its mobile network was trialled on 7 April 2014, and mobile services began operations in the cities of Mandalay and Yangon on 27 September 2014. Telenor's network subsequently launched in Naypyidaw on 4 October 2014, with full coverage of Myanmar achieved on 26 October 2014.
In November 2014, Telenor and Yoma Bank announced their cooperation to provide mobile banking to Myanmar. The aim of their cooperation is to provide access to financial services to people who do not have bank accounts. As of 2016, it had more than 14 million subscribers.
