Why is 3G switching off?
3G was launched more than 20 years ago and has served us well, but today it’s no longer efficient for the way we use our phones. As part of our commitment to delivering faster, more reliable and future-ready connectivity, we’ll soon be switching off our 3G network. This move is also part of a global transition, as operators worldwide are retiring 3G to make way for next-generation networks.
By phasing out 3G, we can focus on building a stronger, faster and more sustainable network for everyone. This change allows us to:
Faster 4G & 5G
Get quicker speeds, smoother browsing and seamless streaming
Better coverage
Enjoy stronger and more reliable signal across Malta and Gozo
Clearer calls
Experience crystal-clear voice calls by enabling VoLTE on your device at no extra cost
Future-ready network
Access the latest digital services and handle growing mobile data needs
More energy-efficient
We’re moving away from outdated technology to reduce energy use
What you need to do
Here’s how to get ready, based on your device and SIM card:
If you have a 4G/5G phone and SIM, but you’re still using 3G
This usually happens if your phone is set to “3G only” or hasn’t been switched to 4G/5G in the settings. Here is what to do:
Go to Mobile Network Settings
Select 4G/LTE or 5G as your preferred network
Restart your device if needed
If you have a 4G/5G phone but your SIM card is 3G only
If your SIM card is very old, it may not be compatible with 4G or 5G, even if your phone is. This means you’re limited to 3G. Here is what to do:
Visit any of our GO outlets and request a FREE SIM upgrade
Your number will stay the same and the swap takes just minutes
Start enjoying 4G and 5G as soon as you switch
Find your nearest GO Outlet
Elevate your calling experience
Activate VoLTE on any of our mobile plans at no extra cost for clearer calls and uninterrupted data.
