Just hours after the earthquake, Mytel launched an emergency support campaign for about 4 million customers in 98 districts (townships) across the country. Each customer in the affected area was promptly supported with 1GB of data, 300 minutes of calls and 300 SMS messages to help people contact their relatives and receive updates from the Government and rescue agencies. Mobile charging points were also organized by Mytel in many heavily affected areas, helping people maintain connections during widespread power outages.

Dozens of mobile broadcasting stations were deployed, backup equipment was activated to maintain the communications infrastructure, serve rescue work and support the community. Along with that, Mytel units organized 45 points to support essential items including 10,000 meals for people and will continue to expand in the coming time.

The earthquake forced the Myanmar government to issue an urgent appeal for international aid. In such circumstances, Mytel’s quick and practical actions not only helped to alleviate some of the concerns of the Myanmar people but also demonstrated the spirit of the Vietnamese people for the international community.

In the earthquake-affected areas, along with humanitarian support activities, Mytel restores operations and services as soon as possible.

Along with increasing humanitarian support activities, Viettel Group's leaders said that they are closely monitoring the situation of repairing Mytel's network infrastructure and telecommunications services in Myanmar and will have timely support measures when necessary.
