Important!
All over the world, operators are modernizing their communication networks and calling options are changing with the shutting down of 2G/3G generation networks and the complete transition to 4G/5G networks.
To continue making and receiving calls abroad, you need a phone that supports VoLTE technology, as well as a postpaid tariff plan. View the mobile network technologies used next to the network name.
Please note!
In case of emergency abroad, call 112. Here you can find information about emergency services and public alert mobile applications in EEA+ countries.
For your information!
We offer you the opportunity to activate the ban on using mobile network services in ship and ferry, airplane and satellite networks. This will be useful while traveling, if you want to avoid additional expenses for communications in networks that are not subject to terms and conditions of EEA+ countries.
To enable or disable this ban, contact us by phone 80768076 or +371 29319911 (from abroad), or at My LMT section Saziņa ar LMT (Contact LMT), or by e-mail: [email protected].
To be on the safe side, when you arrive, we will send you a text message with information about tariffs in the respective country. You can use My LMT to adapt the receipt of these texts to your needs.

You can make and receive calls abroad, as well as send and receive text messages and MMS – just remember about some important aspects.

If you want to stop receiving MMS, text MMS– to 1688. When you return home, do remember to reactive this function by texting MMS+ to the same number.
- Use LMT-friendly networks, when you travel abroad. They offer the best rates.
- If you want to save, when outside the EEA+ countries*, for calling use call-back instead of a direct call (see rates at the top of the page when selecting a country). It is also a good alternative to direct calls in situations when they are not available.

For business clients, it can be even higher (see the information in the Questions and Answers section). However, note that the amount must not exceed your maximum internet cost control limit abroad, and it cannot be greater than your total credit limit.
