So MVNOs like Yoodo, XOX probably would still have 3G till that time, then..?

Got a call from maxis to change my 3G phone to 4G phone. But the phone is used by my mum for making calls only. So 2G is sufficient and i dont have the change the phone for her, right?

Continue using it. If after March 2022 cannot use, then only upgrade.

2G will stay for much longer time. Its also to support those which 4G phones the telco doesn't support VOLTE .
I still have my SE K750i, which is a 2G phone. Still working.

Unlike 3G..which is like Peter Parker telling Tony Stark - "Mr Stark, I dont feel so good"

Many old folk & those not tech savvy...
Then to use those basic phone...
So most likely for sms/calls only...

So as long 2G is available... Which I think won't be stop anytime soon...

So it's safe for now...
With 3G gone, 4G seems more traffic... Speed also slowing down... Hope Telco can do something about it... Or just hide & blame on user device instead as usual....

What will happen to tourists that comes here then? Have to buy new local phones, as well? And those people that bought cheap recond/2nd hand phones, that are JAP/UK etc sets..

I hope the answer is not 'buy new phones'

This is depends on device manufacturers, i know Apple and Samsung phones are global phones which their service can work internationally but not for China brand
