Speaking from experience

After the number is terminated, within 5 days you must go to digi store (not express) and provide them with your terminated number as well as number to contact, so they can retrieve the number for registration at the same store

After a day or two, you will receive a phone call stating if the number is retrievable or not. If yes, go to the store and the person whom the number is previously registered to must subscribe to postpaid plan for a month, cheapest is rm38

If not,  I am not sure. I only have experience with successful retrieval of the number

Last month i have same issue... Digi gardens told me that require minimum rm58 x 12 months contract with bundle phone only can get the number.

I straight say thank you.

Hope u wont get the same answer

No hidden cost, 100% free.

It seems that they're thinking of ceasing off 3G first instead.
2G network are still being used today, especially from Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet-of-Things (IoT), mainly from commercial business and uses... Not for average daily consumers like us, except those elderly that uses 2G phone.
Although yes, 2G is "outdated" but somehow it still tends to generate some revenue for telcos.

If those devices were to be upgraded to support 4G, it's gonna involve some great costs to owners to buy and upgrade.
After all, those machines/devices uses less than around 50MB per month, where 2G network (either via GPRS or EDGE) are already sufficient to satisfy their needs, hence they don't necessarily need a high speed 4G network for their applications.

Either way, shutting down 3G might be making sense. We don't see many new 3G-only phones on market nowadays... Even the market's cheapest and lousiest phone are likely to support 4G already (whether it supports VoLTE or not, then it's different story  )
For the elderly people that is not tech savvy ones, they are either still on their 2G feature phones, OR already on 4G-enabled smartphones.

All Malaysian telcos already supports VoLTE, except...:
Celcom VoLTE is available to all Celcom Mobile Postpaid plan customers using iPhone 7 and above only.
Maxis, don't have VoLTE yet at all.

By the time when 3G has fully shutdown, and if you use a 4G phone that doesn't support VoLTE, then it would fallback to 2G network during calls.

Same, I'm wondering why 3G and not 2G, spectrum used by 2G is way more valuable than 3G, and when phones fallback to 3G the internet is atleast some what usable, but if u were to switch your phone to 2G, basically can't do anything except calls.

If that area doesn't have any kinds of "G" at all, then it's a gamble, either you might get at least a 4G service soon, or still continue as "No Service".

anyone realized now raining seasons...

line really getting unstable & slow....  easily lost signal....
