Customers who are connected to 4G and 4G LTE will not experience any connectivity disruptions during the migration process.

Under JENDELA, the industry is working towards stronger 4G connectivity nationwide and to ensure all Malaysians have more consistent internet access. Digi will work with the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and other industry partners to track the migration and better serve customers nationwide.

While we will assist you as best possible through this transition, customers are responsible for device upgrades and we are unable to waive any bill charges.

3G network will be shut down nationwide by all mobile service providers to ensure wider 4G coverage and better quality of experience for all. Hence, you will not be able to use the 3G network once it is fully shut down by the end of December 2021. You may experience service disruptions and network congestion on the 2G network if you maintain your 3G device. Check out our latest devices and offers, on the website, that can help you access faster and more consistent connectivity.

To prepare customers for a smooth transition, we are consistently rolling out new attractive deals and offers for 4G devices on our website.

If your current devices are 4G ready, you may continue to enjoy the service without having to change plans or devices. You may switch to a new plan if you are signing up for a new device contract that comes with a plan upgrade. To check if your SIM is 4G-friendly type LTE and SMS to 20000. Should you need a replacement, just visit your nearest Digi Store to upgrade your SIM now.

By default, consumers should be able to connect to a 4G network if the device is capable to do so based on its specification. However, if a user manually disables the 4G option in the phone setting, 4G connection will be disabled. To check if your SIM is 4G-friendly type LTE and SMS to 20000. Should you need a replacement, just visit your nearest Digi Store to upgrade your SIM now.

Digi is committed to ensuring a smooth migration for customers by providing timely communication. We will provide early notice to our subscribers through SMS alerts, emails, our website and other Digi platforms. There will be regular updates on affordable 4G device offers to help customers upgrade to a 4G and VoLTE-enabled devices. For more information, visit Digi’s JENDELA page or the Government’s JENDELA website.

Digi encourages customers to upgrade their devices to one that is 4G-compatible as early as possible to ensure continuous access to connectivity. Our website will be updated regularly for information on 4G and VoLTE capable devices and updates on our affordable 4G device offers.

All 3G customers will be given prior notice ahead of the implementation of 3G shutdown through SMS, emails and other Digi platforms. You can also find out by checking your supported network or your device specifications in your device settings.

3G is the third generation of wireless telecommunication technology that uses a network of phone towers to pass signals over long distances.

4G, as the fourth generation of wireless telecommunication technology, builds upon what 3G offers but provides a more consistent and faster experience. Devices connected to a 4G mobile network will get a quicker response to a request than the same device connected to a 3G network, due to much lower latency.

Once the 3G network is shut down, carriers will stop supporting the devices that are only 3G-compatible. If you are using such a device, it means those devices will no longer be able to experience seamless connectivity.

There are no current plans to shut down 2G as it is still able to support Digi users and M2M devices.

3G data users have declined significantly due to the smartphone migration to 4G, while a number of M2M and IoT devices such as security and health equipment still run on 2G. This makes it easier and more efficient to migrate 3G users rather than 2G users to a 4G network. 3G network will fully shut down by 31 December 2021.

3G networks will be gradually shut down across the whole nation by 31 December 2021. Customers will be given early notice to allow time for preparation to migrate to 4G.

All telco operators will gradually shut down its 3G network in phases throughout 2021, with the aim of achieving full shut down by 31 December 2021.

Shutting down 3G network will allow telcos to re-farm the spectrum from 3G to 4G, which can boost 4G network speed, as the country’s JENDELA aspiration is to enable users to experience an average speed of up to 35 Mbps. This will help enhance the quality of service for mobile users to have greater experience in internet browsing, video streaming, gaming and other online services. Customers can notice improvements like:

-Higher data speeds

-Lower latency

-Better network reliability and stability

Shutting down the 3G network is part of an initiative that all Malaysian telcos are working towards under JENDELA, to cater for rising demand for better quality connectivity. Doing so will free up more spectrum capacity to support higher traffic on the 4G network, resulting in better performance and quality of experience for all 4G users. This will enable telcos to cater for the rising demand for better quality connectivity.

As part of JENDELA, the national digital infrastructure plan, the 3G network is set to be shut down gradually nationwide to allow the transition to a future ready networks that can benefit the people and the nation.
