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
yeah, and if we continue to keep 3g, our telcos will never be serious with 4g. right now, 3g is backbone for data and 4g is just a supporting network.

That's why I against shutting down of 3G..
Yet some people says it's needed to make 4G better...
So in the process of shutting down & reallocate to 4G... That period everyone suffer 😂 can take few weeks to months tho (since Malaysia standard always slow & take it easy).. so don't complaint huh 🤣

4G that drops to 2G for just that stupid call and sometimes is doesnt rebound to 4G and is stuck at 2G, how is the driver gonna navigate via their Turn by Turn Maps Guidance?

*
if stuck at 2G, then it is either due to software bug or 4G signal so weak that the phone prefers to stick to 2G.

when 4G is weak (which it not uncommon in many places in Malaysia), i don't think you will like to do voice over it. smile.gif

Thanks for your reply.

When she first got her iPhone the 2G,3G & 4G settings were in her phone. After I setup her phone the 2G setting was gone so I can’t select 2G network in the future. This is the reason I raised a question here. We will wait and see how thing goes when 3G is terminated. Generally, she doesn’t need data plan as she is home on WiFi. She only been out of the house twice to get vaccinated since the pandemic.

On iphone, when you set to 4G, it means the max it can go is 4G. It doesn’t mean it can’t go lower to 3G or 2G.

All these network issues should not happen if they (ie telcos) "sincerely" "re-farm" 3G to 4G.

Now, what we experience is like the 3G is never being "re-farm" but totally shutdown.

Do all telcos understand the difference between "re-farm" and "shutdown"...?

i thought the main plan is to refarm 3G for 5G?

But some parties say it's monopoly...
Not good for the country to have 1 company for 5G 😬
Die2 want respective Telco run the network system...
*
some people say monopoly is to lower cost, enable faster deployment and ultimately benefit the rakyat.
