Your 3G phone and other 3G devices will no longer work on the major mobile carriers in the USA as a result of the decommissioning of their 3G technology which will be phased out across the networks during 2022. This will be effective as at the following dates:

NetworkTermination Date
AT & TFebruary 22, 2022
T-MobileJuly 1, 2022

Yes. All prepaid and postpaid services on 3G devices in the US will be impacted – voice, data and SMS.

Yes. If you have 4G LTE or 5G devices you will still be able to use your device to access data roaming services in the 4G LTE or 5G network coverage areas. This means that customers will still be able to use their mobile apps to make calls, send texts, check emails, browse and watch content.

In order to access traditional voice roaming on 4G LTE or 5G networks , you will need to have a VoLTE (Voice over LTE) capable 4G LTE or 5G device. This is the functionality that makes it possible for voice quality calls to be made over the LTE/4G mobile network. This feature will need to be activated on the device in order for you to be able to make these calls.

At this time, we are in the process of improving our network to implement the VoLTE capability to facilitate traditional voice calling while in the USA. We will update our website as soon as it is available.

Most recent 4G/LTE SIM cards will work with VoLTE. To check if you have an LTE SIM, dial *555# and the SIM status will be displayed on your phone. However, if you are unsure, please call our contact centre and speak with a representative by dialing 100 for consumer or 1-800-744-0222 for business.

  • Upgrade your device from 3G to a 4G LTE or 5G one that supports VoLTE
  • Upgrade your SIM card to an LTE SIM
  • Ensure that you subscribe to a suitable roaming package before departing
  • When the VoLTE functionality is available on our network:
    • Ensure that VoLTE feature in your device is activated and updated with the latest version
    • Ensure that VoLTE is switched on prior to travelling

In former years, copper was the standard technology in the telecommunication sector due to its excellent voice transmission. However, with the demand for greater bandwidth to deliver faster internet speeds, fiber optics has proven to be more efficient and reliable. Our goal is to deliver a 100% fiber network throughout the Turks and Caicos by the end of this year.

Dear Customer,

As of July 1, Flow will no longer support picture messaging sent via SMS/MMS services, or WAP services. We would like to recommend that you use WEB browsers to access the Internet once we stop supporting WAP or WAP services.

We understand that this change may impact how you use our services but we continue to support other channels that make sharing easier.

Thank you for being a Flow customer!

Sincerely,

Your Flow Team

Why I’m seeing an alert or error message when I tried to send a message?

As of July 1, Flow will disconnect SMS/MMS services, which mean that messages that contain images won’t be able to be sent using our SMS service. You will still be able to continue using our SMS service for regular text messages. Try using messaging apps from the app store to share with friends and family.

If you are an iOS user:

  • iMessage: continue using your iMessage service to send multimedia files or text messages, as long as it is available. If you have set the option “Send as SMS” in case iMessage is not available, that message will be only sent if it does not contain any multimedia file. If there are more than 160 characters in your message, please be advised that messages will be concatenated and you will be charged based on the number of concatenated messages sent.
    • SMS: text messages without multimedia files will be sent as a SMS. Messages with more than 160 characters, will be sent as concatenated messages.
    • MMS: in the past, when iMessage was not available or you were sending a multimedia file, the message was sent as a MMS. MMS is no longer supported in the Flow network.
    • Group Messages: in the past, when you created a group message and not all of your recipients had iMessage or your iMessage was not available, the message was sent as a MMS. Please be advised that if iMessage is unavailable, you will be charged based on the number of recipients included in your message, also messages to recipients that do not have iMessage will be charged. Each recipient will receive the SMS and the sender will be charged for the total SMS sent.
  • What are ‘Concatenated SMS’? When you send an SMS message over 160 characters, the message will be split into multiple SMS. Large messages are segmented into 153 character segments and sent individually then rebuilt by the recipient’s device. For example, a 161-character message will be sent as two messages, one with 153 characters and the second with 8 characters.
