Before you travel
  • 3G has been switched off on LMT, Tele2, Bitė. A phone that only works on 3G will get no data there and may not be able to call: check that yours supports 4G with voice (VoLTE) before you go.
  • 4G/5G frequency bands used in Latvia: 5G 3500, 5G 700, LTE 1800, LTE 2600, LTE 800. Most recent smartphones cover them; older or regional models may miss some.
  • Moving there? Mobile number portability has existed since 2007, a transfer takes about 10 day(s) and costs free.

Also available: virtual operators (MVNOs) that rent capacity on these networks — VMT, Xomobile.
