Kaya rupa-rupanya Mesia nih... Banyak duit kita nak upgrade sana-sini...

So, kalu tarak 4G, kenalah guna 2G yer....?

Me think this news is still under "inception".... In the end, will be postponed until further notice... or the most popular "budaya" is U-turn...LOL...

Here's a real story:

Was queuing to pay via e-Wallet. Suddenly, the line dropped from 4G to H+... Luckily can still pay ... Imagine, line dropped to EDGE, the e-Wallet app cannot even loading leeyyyhhh... LOL...

So, before terminating the 3G spectrum, make sure test properly the stability and reliability of LTE loohhh... Jangan suka2 terminate tanpa alasan yg konkrit...

MySejahtera app loaded after 60 seconds under EDGE spectrum....LOL

Me using the Pro version... Urs is Limited Technology version...

The signal kind of bouncing between 2 to full bars lately... dunno maybe got "monkeys" touching the cell towers...LOL...

Later when 3G is shut down, and got "monkeys" vandalizing the cell towers, we all will be using EDGE the whole week ya.... "Segala Kesulitan Amatlah Dikesali"... "sudah terhantuk baru terngadah"....

Don't worry... gomen claimed "ALL" 3G spectrums "WILL" be upgraded to LTE.

After upgraded to LTE, and "WITHOUT" proper testing and verification from independent checkers, gomen "GUARANTEED" that these "UPGRADED" 3G to 4G will be usable in these cell towers.

As we all know how Malaysian "UPGRADING QUALITY" is, these area will be in the philosophy of "Bila Terhantuk, Baru Terngadah".

Don't confuse the purpose of JENDELA is "introduced"...

Data only = LTE.
Voice call & SMS = EDGE.

Me NOT against shutting down the 3G. But the respective party(ies) need to ensure that after upgraded to 4G, the cell tower(s) are able to cope the VOLUME all day long 24 hours NON-STOP...

So, please do proper assessment and inception study before deciding to upgrade.

Anyway, the respective party(ies) have until December 2021 to decide. So, got many man-hours to do the testings and assessments...

But the 3G spectrum will be back up again after mis-configurations at cell towers.

"Effective" shutdown is hypothetically by end of February 2022.

Using Tim Team Apple summore... very malu if the cell towers are not configured correctly....also, be sure that we fully charged our devices as the battery will be depleted 50% faster than usual... this is becoz of the modem keeps on searching for the best LTE/EDGE signal all the time.... dual-SIM devices will suffer the worst....

Me was expecting those Tim Team Apple will be the "perfect" scenario for shutting down 3G. Looks like, even Tim Team Apple devices also kena the VoLTE tak melekat scenario ... LOL...

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

what will happen to me is that at place using 3G i got no data at all lol

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...
