• In 2022, AT&T will gradually be shutting down the 3G mobile network throughout the USA in order to focus on the new 4G and 5G technologies.

   

  What does this mean for Sunrise customers?
  If you travel to the USA, some incoming and outgoing voice calls and SMS over the AT&T network will temporarily no longer be possible.

   

  What can I do?
  We recommend that in the USA you use an alternative network, which you can select manually.

  • For iOS/iPhone: Settings -> Mobile Data -> Network Selection -> Disable Automatic and select alternative network

  • For Android: Settings -> Connections -> Mobile networks -> Network operators -> Disable «Select automatically» and select alternative network

   

  Please do not forget to reset the network selection to automatic as soon as you leave the USA again.

   

  Sunrise will be activating VoLTE roaming in the course of 2022, so that customers in the USA can make voice calls and send SMS over the AT&T network again.

Sea & Air: Roaming via satellite connection

Cruise ships and planes sometimes provide coverage via mobile networks. These networks are often run over satellite connections, although the hardware displays the name of a regular mobile phone provider, such as Vodafone Malta. Satellite connections are always more expensive than regular mobile phone connections.
