I think the truth is closer to what a Myanmar travel agency says "Q - How about GSM phone connection in Myanmar?
A- Myanmar GSM or mobile phone service support network for local users only and no network traffic for global phone users. Therefore, if you bring your phone into Myanmar, formally you will have to leave it at custom desk on arrival until your departure. "

AFAIK the same procedure is applied in North Korea

I've already asked Cizake but I haven't received an answer AFAIR.
However, satphone roaming is not so good solution in any country even if rates themeselves are reasonable because it requires using an expensive and heavy handset and there's no indoor coverage....
