After first SIM registration step, you require to make the first call, SMS, USSD or by topping-up within 180 days. If the SIM card is not activated within 180 days, the SIM card will move to “Cooling Stage” where both Inbound and Outbound calls are restricted. After successful SIM activation with First Voice Call or SMS or USSD or Top-up, your SIM will active for 60 days only and next recharge within 60days will extend your SIM and balance for 365 days validity from the date of recharge.
If a Top-up has not been made within 60 days after your first voice call or SMS or USSD initiation, your SIM will be in Suspend state (one-way block) starting from the 61st day after your first voice call or SMS or USSD initiation. In Suspend state (one-way block), the outgoing calls, SMSes and all other chargeable services of your SIM will be barred. If the SIM has been recharged (within 30 days in suspended state) then this SIM will move into ‘active’ state from ‘suspend’ state.
If a recharge has not been made within 30 days after the SIM goes into suspend state (one-way block), all calls (incoming/outgoing), SMSes, and all other chargeable services will be barred in disable state (two-way block) starting from the 31st day. However, if you make a recharge within 30 days after the number goes into suspend state (one-way block), your balance will valid, and SIM will active for 365 days from the date of recharge.
If a recharge has not been made within another 60 days after going into ‘disabled’ state (two-way block), all balance will be forfeited and the number will go into a ‘pool’ state (cooling state). In the Pool State (cooling state), all services of the SIM (phone number) will be disabled, and it will not be possible to make a recharge and move into “active” state. However, if you make a recharge within 60 days after the number goes into disable state (two-way block), your balance will be valid for 365 days from the date of recharge.

For some devices, it is recommended to save number with both prefix +95 and with 0 in the phonebook to ensure the mobile phone can recognize who is calling. We cannot be held responsible for any misunderstanding due to the varieties in the number format in notifications and information sent to you.

Benefit buckets/ included units
Benefit buckets are used to hold benefits included in packs such as voice minute packs, SMS packs, data packs and other packs. The benefits included in a pack can be restricted to certain usage, e.g. Onnet SMS can only be used to send SMS to other ATOM MYANMAR numbers. Upon usage of a specific service the specific usage will be deducted from the benefit bucket rather than charged to the customer’s account. Upon depletion of the bucket, i.e. for any usage beyond the benefits included in the bucket, the usage will be charged as per the applied price plan and deducted from the main balance. You may not receive a notification when the pack is depleted. The benefit buckets must be used within the given validity. Any benefits remaining in the bucket after expire of validity will be forfeited and will not be refunded. Although the benefits have been used and the charging thus following the active price plan, a query of the active packs, e.g. through USSD menu, may still show packs as active, although they are empty and thus not applicable.
We may offer services which are auto-renewed after a period of time. In this case, the specific terms and conditions for the product will specify how the auto-renewal is done. For most services, you will receive an SMS notification one day before the service will be automatically renewed. If you do not unsubscribe at this time, the service will be automatically renewed and the price for the next period of time will be deducted from your main account. If you do not have enough balance in your account to renew a specific service, you will be unsubscribed from the service. Specific products may have a different auto-renewal procedure which will be detailed in the product specific terms and conditions.

Unless specified in the price plan otherwise calls are charged on a time basis in intervals of 20 seconds and are rounded up to the nearest multiple of 20 seconds. Different charging principles can apply for respective number groups (e.g. international calls, premium charged numbers). We do not charge a call setup fee and the call will only be charged when the connection has been successful.

If you have any free minutes in your account, these will be used first and the call cost will be displayed as 0.00 Ks.
You must note that if an internet session is active on the handset while the call is being made, the system may automatically reserve some credit for the active session which will be indicated when the post call notification displays the main account balance. This may lead to an inaccurate account balance being displayed in the post call notification. Balance query through *124# USSD will at all times display the actual balance remaining in your account.
Some products and services may have different prices depending on the time of day or the day of the week. Specific products may define their peak and off-peak hours differently, which will be informed in the specific product or service’s price plan terms and conditions.

If you want to disable internet, you can send an SMS with ‘internet off’ to 500. If you wish to re-enable internet, you can send an SMS to 500 with ‘internet on’. You may need to restart your phone for the change to be effective.
The speed announced is a maximum speed and actual speed may vary depending on multiple factors such as total internet use by other customers on our network, servers accessed, distance to mobile network tower and handset/device used to access the network. We cannot guarantee service availability or a certain speed and cannot be held accountable if a certain speed is not delivered.
We use both 3G and 4G technology to deliver internet. In areas with only 3G coverage, the maximum speed is the maximum 3G speed.
Excessive data usage, peer to peer and VoIP data usage.
The data services are provided for personal use only and reselling or renting or otherwise offering to 3rd parties are not allowed. We reserve the right to block usage and/or disconnect you if usage is significantly above average usage of high end users (e.g. 1 GB per day). We may monitor or log usage for technical use. We may block access to tethering services, VoIP services and any content deemed illegal or inappropriate. We may block or throttle P2P traffic, excessive file sharing or FTP traffic. We may block or throttle certain traffic types at certain times to avoid network congestion.
Data packs must be used within the given validity. Any data not used within the stated validity period will be forfeited and will not be refunded. When a data pack is exhausted or expired, you will return to your price plan internet charging unless the pack is automatically renewed (auto-renewed). If a pack is renewed automatically, you will be notified in advance before the auto-renewal will happen. A specific data pack can have a separate speed profile which can change the available speed for the customer to a speed that is higher or lower than the default product. If you buy more internet packs with same speed, they will stack up meaning the quota will be added. If you buy packs with different speeds, the pack with the highest speed will take preference and will be used before the pack with the lower speed. This can mean that the slower pack may expire while you are using the faster pack.
A URL-based pack is a product where the data consumed using a specific app or through a specific URL is included in the subscription. Example could be a Facebook pack with a certain quota to be used within a certain time.
You must have the correct internet settings (APN) stored in your handset to be able to use ATOM MYANMAR internet service. New customers will receive settings automatically if the handset can support automatic settings. If not, then you will receive an SMS with instructions on how to set the APN manually.

Benefit buckets/ included units
Benefit buckets are used to hold benefits included in packs such as voice minute packs, SMS packs, data packs and other packs. The benefits included in a pack can be restricted to certain usage, e.g. onnet SMS can only be used to send SMS to other ATOM MYANMAR numbers. The benefit may also be a monetary value that can be used for chargeable activities. Upon usage of a specific service, the specific usage will be deducted from the benefit bucket rather than charged to the customer’s account. Upon depletion of the bucket, i.e. for any usage beyond the benefits included in the bucket, the usage will be charged as per the applied price plan and deducted from the credit balance. You will receive a notification when the pack is depleted. The benefit buckets must be used within the given validity and will be refreshed every bill cycle. Any benefits remaining in the bucket after expire of validity will be forfeited and will not be refunded. Although the benefits and packs have been used and charged according to the active price plan, a query of the active packs, e.g. through USSD menu, may still show packs as active although they are empty.
We may offer services that are auto-renewed after a period of time. In this case, the specific terms and conditions for the product will specify how the auto-renewal is done. For most services, you will receive an SMS notification one day before the service will be automatically renewed. If you do not unsubscribe at that time, the service will be automatically renewed and the price for the next period of time will be deducted from your credit balance. If you do not have enough credit in your account to renew a specific service, your service will be suspended until there is sufficient credit. Specific products may have a different auto-renewal procedure.
You can receive the post-call notifications as USSD notification which gives customer information about the most recently terminated call. The notification will contain the call cost, call duration, and the available credit. If you have any free minutes in your account, these will be used first and the call cost will be displayed as 0 Kyats.
You must note that if an internet session is active on the handset while the call is being made, the system may automatically reserve some credit for the active session which will be indicated when the post-call notification displays the main account balance. This may lead to an inaccurate account balance being displayed in the post-call notification. Balance query through *124#, USSD will at all times display the actual balance remaining in your account.
Data packs
Data packs (also called internet packs) must be used within the given validity. Any data not used within the stated validity period will be forfeited and will not be refunded.

You can only subscribe to one internet pack at a time. The internet pack will automatically be renewed after 30 days from the time of subscription and this cycle may not follow your monthly bill cycle.
