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.

That’s what I’m experiencing every day.😅 Celcom shut offs 3G in Klang when ever I call some it’s took almost 5 to 10 seconds to switch 4G to 2G then connect call

Yes, having the same problem with Celcom at my office area. Do you have problem receiving calls? Only get missed call sms then know someone tried to call. To receive call need to turn off 4G.
