Roaming in the USA

Firstly, our O2 network in the UK will continue to support all types of mobile devices. But if you’re planning to travel to the USA in the future, there are some phones that won’t be compatible with USA networks from 2023.

If we’ve contacted you about this, you may want to think about upgrading your device if you want to roam in the USA any time after January 2023.

FAQs

Why is this happening?

The mobile operators we partner with in the USA are upgrading their networks. AT&T and T-Mobile are shutting down their older 3G networks so they can focus on 4G and 5G services over the coming years. This means older smartphones, which don’t support 4G calling, will no longer work on their networks after they make the switch.

What happens if I don’t upgrade my mobile?

If your mobile doesn’t support 4G calling and you travel to the USA from 2023 onwards, it won’t work on the AT&T or T-Mobile networks, so you’ll only be able to use wifi.
