Our partners around the world are starting to move to 4G and 5G networks and during this transition phase countries will begin to close their 2G or 3G networks.

If a country has closed their 2G or 3G network this may impact how you access voice, SMS and data services when roaming.

What to do in Countries where the 2G or 3G network has already closed

You can continue to make and receive calls and texts using the 3G network when visiting countries where the 2G network has closed. Alternatively, when visiting countries where the 3G network has closed, you can continue to make and receive calls and texts using the 2G network.

List of countries that have switched off their 2G network coverage:

Australia, Belarus, Macau, Mexico, Panama, South Korea, Switzerland and Taiwan.

List of countries that have switched off their 3G network coverage:

Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands and Norway

Operators in the USA have closed their 3G networks and are beginning to close their 2G networks. Please check this page before you travel for the latest news. We currently have three Roaming partners in the USA that provide nationwide mobile coverage.

Roaming Guidance:

·       T Mobile USA – connect to this network to make and receive voice calls, SMS or data with any handset model. T Mobile network coverage may be limited or not available in some cities and rural areas.

·       Verizon - connect to this network to make and receive voice calls, SMS or data with compatible handset models (see handset list below).

·       AT&T- connect to this network to make and receive voice calls, SMS or data with compatible handset models (see handset list below).

Customers using other 4G handset models may also connect to this network for SMS and 4G/5G data. Note – voice calls are only supported on AT&T for the handset models listed below.

Recommendation: You are advised to use 4G handset models when roaming in USA and not to roam in USA with an older handset that only has 2G/3G capability.

To select a network manually switch off automatic network selection in your handset settings and manually search for the list of networks. See section “How can I change the Network when Roaming?” below.

Normally you do not need to change your network when Roaming. Your handset will automatically be connected to the network that provides all of the services with reliable coverage and quality.

If you find you are connected to a network with no service, please select a new network as follows-

Check that your “Data Roaming” and “Mobile Data” are switched on.

·       Switch the automatic network selection option off.
·       Perform a manual network search. This may take some time to present the list of available networks.
·       Select the network to connect to and wait for the connection request to complete. After switching from automatic        network selection to manual selection you usually need to request the new network connection several times before        it will work.

Note: some of the networks presented on the list of available networks may not provide Roaming Services to Clear Mobile customers and the connection request may not be successful.

Clear Mobile is working on delivering voice services over 4G (Voice over LTE) for customers when Roaming.

If you are travelling in the US, you can connect to the AT&T and Verizon network for 4G voice services on certain devices (see section “2G/3G Network closures in USA” for more detail). In other countries customers can continue to make and receive voice calls on 2G or 3G where available when Roaming.

We will provide further updates when further voice over 4G services are available
