they using VOLTE right ?

No, normal phone call no use any data, internet, volte thing
Even Samsung built in video call also no need internet, only need 3G and 4G line
Just use your phone signal
You turn all the thing OFF, leave 2G only also can normal call, SMS

RM0 unifi: Hai. Ini adalah untuk memaklumkan kepada anda bahawa rangkaian 3G di kawasan anda akan ditutup menjelang 31 Okt 2021 sejajar dengan rancangan JENDELA kerajaan untuk meningkatkan ketersambungan di Malaysia. Sila pastikan 4G dan fungsi Voice over LTE (VoLTE) anda diaktifkan dalam peranti untuk meneruskan panggilan melalui LTE. Terima kasih.

Umobile shutted down its 3g here in terengganu, previously running at 900mhz at my house. Now they're using the same band for 4g. At least now instead of getting only 3g i could enjoy 4g too. The bad news is now the signal is totally gone at night, maybe they're still doing site upgrade but fck its frustrating when suddenly losing signal while using internet

Got to hear that, hope my location will same
Btw how to see band on samsung *#0011#? I see only show band but no mhz
Yes i know got such app to see

*#0011# only shows the band number.

Example:
Band 8 means 900MHz
Band 3 means 1800MHz
Band 1 means 2100MHz
*
Just try, 3G only show band 8
4G show band 1 15mhz
Will check back this post when 3G shutdown in my area

Celcom 3G is now completely gone/non existent in my area.
I am sure that the network is still there at yesterday.
It can be deemed problematic as the device I am using for that SIM (unifi mobile) is not VoLTE ready, meaning 2G EDGE for calls and in areas with poor signal. Well it is not my main SIM so nevermind.

How to know already turn off 3G? I cannot see the different

Only need calls and sms. Necessary to activate volte or dont need at all?

Normally is phone support, it will auto activate, just fast or slow
If no use data, ignore it and use 2G only to avoid charge data on 4G line even mobile data is off

Since someone mention on digi thread, USSD menu drop 2G, even 3G still available
I just test again
On my VoLTE phone digi, when run USSD it drop 2G, cause more slow respond, need more that 5 second to switch back 4G,
If i set 3G only still can run USSD, faster respond

On my non VoLTE phone umobile, USSD still drop back 3G, instant switch back to 4G when close USSD menu

It's just 2 more weeks before we enter into 2022, so just wait la..
We all can try test making calls on non-VoLTE phones on 1 January 2022 and see how it happens.

Actually having headache why Celcom's 4G to 3G/2G handover (for making & reciving calls) is messy right now at my house since 3G shutdown thingy

And our family's Celcom/yoodo SIM (left & right one in the picture below) for some reason won't connect to 2G... even if it did, it'll just go back to no service after few moments (Celcom's 2G signal is not that weak at our house, the Celcom/unifi/yoodo SIMs locked to 2G only for purpose of detecting 2G signal)

Unifi 4G to Celcom's 2G handover works just fine  :confused:, even the unifi SIM sticks to Celcom's 2G just fine without any issue if I set it to 2G only
And Yes, already reported to MCMC

On this few day, my non volte phone using umobile, when i notice sudden 4G icon gone, mean calling will come after 2, 3 seconds
As i mention on umobile thread, 3G only for calling

If we disable 2G, means no more phone call? After all some 2021 5G phone still can't support our volte

Currently does not seem a way to turn off 2G
If phone no VOLTE, you turn off 2G, or force use 4G, cannot call
