I have read this before - The reason why AT&T phase out 3G so that they can recycle the frequency for 5G..
Meanwhile our MCMC has already given the green light for a new frequency for 5G so I dont see 3G going away soon.
heck, sometimes I think its better they remain the 3G cause certain areas , the 4G signal is rather weak, so 3G is like a backup. In fact i still use 3G for just basic surfing and Whatsapp, just to conserve battery.

This i agree...
Some ulu places.. only 3G is available & stable..
4G like chipmore.. sometimes have, sometimes don't 🤭😂

I don’t think it will happen anytime soon in Malaysia. First, telco that does support volte in Malaysia like Digi didn’t even officially allow Xiaomi or Oneplus users to use volte even though Xiaomi and Oneplus phones does support volte. Plus our 2G network is not even switched off yet...so why will 3G network will be switched off earlier than 2G in our country?

Btw, unifi mobile does support volte.

TS always follow USA news or get information from there only...

Europe or Asia news don't know / follows 🤭

That's why I said dreaming about 3G shutdown.. when 2G still kicking strong..

Remember.. not all place have 4G..
Some still 3G only especially those rural areas....

Thai operators in 2G u-turn
https://www.developingtelecoms.com/telecom-...-2g-u-turn.html

Thai regulator NBTC (National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission) has dropped plans to decommission the country’s 2G networks after a change of heart from the major operators.

So basically in future.
We should have 2G, 4G & 5G services running same time...

Hopefully that time if 5G not available, got stable 4G to hang on 😁

2G is here to stay

Refarming 3G in areas where 4G signal is strong is most probable, if your 4G is good why do you even need 3G?

Of course, for non VoLTE phone, signal switch to 2G is possible whenever call is made

First, need to ensure all phone is at least 4G capable, seen too much tv shopping selling smartphone up to 3G only, pity those who get duped since they didn't disclose the network capability on show

After 3G gone now ..
Many experience weaker signal & more congestion on their 4G network....

It's kinda failure of planning...

Hopefully it's get better....
