A warning has been issued to mobile phone users ahead of network changes coming into play from next month.
Approximately 30 million people are unaware their mobile phone service is to be cut off. According to new research by Uswitch.com, half of us are unaware the UK’s 3G mobile network is set to be phased out - the UK Government has set a deadline of 2033 for both 2G and 3G to be turned off completely.
While the third-generation technology is now 20 years old, one in four say they use 3G regularly, while 7% said it’s the only network they can access. The 3G shutdown will allow extra room for more advanced networks, as the UK’s main mobile providers have focused their investment on improving the 4G network and the rollout of its 5G services instead.
