Yes. All calls and SMS will be channeled to 2G spectrum(s) if data is off or VoLTE is absent.

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

Data is always present... only up to 384kbps if HSPA spectrums ended....

If 4G is absent, here are the samples of speed between 1st January until 28th February of 2022:

Conclusion:
Flagship modems will connect "ala" Nokia 3210 modem between 1st January until 28th February 2022...

And if we subscribed to unlimited data plan, we can only consume no more than 120GB per month (if we decided not to MNP-o from the current telco...):

Conclusion:
Telco "may" purposely set the cell towers to 2G spectrum only and "purposely" turned off 4G in order to maximize profit...

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.

All telcos will do that once they have the "confidence" that the cell tower(s) in that zone is "tested" "thoroughly".

Please rest assure (very standard and scripted reply by Customer Service ... LOL...) that those 3G cell towers have been "re-farmed" into 4G spectrum(s). Therefore, if the location that U visited "was" connected to 3G before; soon, starting from 1st January 2022 onwards, the device will connect to LTE spectrum(s).

Celcom has done two 3G sunset proof-of-concept between April and June in Semenyih and Klang, Selangor, and it has also completed the first pilot cluster 3G shutdown in Kuala Lumpur last month.

“We are on track with our plan for nationwide 3G shutdown in stages from end-September until Dec 31, 2021," he said.

Mohamad Idham said Celcom is being “very careful” with the shutdown of its 3G network to ensure no implication arises on 4G users.

“We will continue to work to raise the quality of our 4G network coverage and experience, as well as ensuring our customers have a seamless transition from 3G to 4G," he added.

Celcom currently has about 98% of devices on its network already on 4G devices, while less than 3% of its customers are still operating on 3G devices.

Celcom bullshit.

3G suddenly off at my office area last week. Now cannot receive calls while connected to 4G. VoLTE not available even though phone is in the Celcom approved list.

This is being "very careful" with the shutdown of its 3G network to ensure no implication arises on 4G users.

Wonder how many % of the 98% 4G devices are in their VoLTE approved list.

I see that people have problems with VoLTE roll out/implementation even in big advanced countries. Its hard to imagine we will do better..

There are 2 problems here
1) Non VoLTE call receiving not working properly. 4G not falling to 2G to receive call. Either not doing it at all or it takes too long that caller "gives up"

2) VoLTE support. Only limited models supported. If the phone is not in supported list, then no VoLTE even if the phone supports it.
Worst when phone is in supported list and still no VoLTE. Then telco blame phone manufacturer and vice versa. In the end no solution.
