2. Why is Altel shutting down the 3G network?

7. How will the 3G Sunset affect you as a mobile consumer?

a) How do I know if I am a 3G network user?
If you are using a 3G device or if your phone seems only capable of latching onto the 3G network despite using a 4G device. You can also refer to the network indicator icon on your phone ~ if it indicates 3G most of the time, then you may be a heavy user of the 3G network.

b) What will I experience if I fail to prepare for the 3G Sunset by upgrading to a 4G device?
You will not be able to enjoy the best network experience and higher data speeds on our 4G network and your voice and data services will be disrupted.

c) Why am I always latched on to the 3G network when I am already using a 4G device?
This could be due to weak 4G coverage in your area. Don’t worry, your area should be covered under the Jendela program intended to improve nationwide mobile coverage.

d) If I am on a 3G device, do I need to buy a new device?
Yes, you are encouraged to upgrade to a 4G device in order to continue to enjoy better network coverage and improved data speeds.

e) How is Altel going to inform me of the exact time of the 3G shutdown in my area?
3G sunset is scheduled for implementation by phases across Malaysia throughout 2021. We will publish information on the area & time for 3G sunset on our Altel website and an SMS notification will be sent to you prior to the shutdown in your area.

f) When will 3G sunset be fully completed?
3G Sunset will be done by phases across Malaysia and will be completed by the end of 2021.

g) What will happen to me if I choose not to upgrade my device or upgrade my SIM card? Will I be able to continue using 2G?
Yes, you can continue to enjoy 2G services such as voice and SMS. However, your data experience will be significantly affected as 2G data speeds are low.

h) Where can I go or contact for more information or queries?
For more details, message us on Altel Live Chat or call our Customer Careline at 13388 (From Altel Number) / 1300-13-3888 (from non Altel number), daily from 8 am – 10 am.

i) If I decide to not upgrade or switch to 4G upon 3G sunset, what will happen to my current prepaid plan?
Your prepaid plan will remain the same. However, you will experience a drop in the quality of data service as you will only be able to use services on the 2G network.

j) Will there be any service disruption during 3G sunset?
3G sunset will be seamless for all customers as long as both your device and SIM card is 4G capable.

k) What will I experience once I have switched to a 4G device with 4G network, as compared to 3G network?
Once you’ve switched to our 4G network with a 4G device, you will enjoy better network coverage and higher data speeds.
