IMO shutting down 3g in 2021 is just too soon, when 4g doesn't get fixed and they want to shutdown 3g... thats a lack of foresight here.
And 4g/2g can be used in a MSR mode as demonstrated in taiwan (in chinese): https://chinese.engadget.com/chinese-2017-0...-2g-900mhz.html |

And regards to convert 3g towers to 4g towers, you have to consider adding the current bulk of 3g users and current 4g users in these new 4g towers, and then...
Network congestion again?  |

QUOTE(prosibu @ Sep 9 2020, 08:16 PM) Already say in previous post, 3G is unusable now at most of the area, and there must be some stats that 2g only devices are way more than 3g only devices at the moment. Now i'm posting on 3g and I can get good speeds, definitely usable for youtube/browsing...3g barely can use for watsapp, let along browsing/utube. |

QUOTE(SleeplessEyes @ Sep 11 2020, 10:26 PM) Same here. Still using 3g . Well it depends on telco perhaps...However it's unfortunate my area is getting up to only 2Mbps on the old 3G modem , where it can get 5mbps+ in some areas). Already reported to Digi for this matter. My guess maybe the 3g tower still on Streamyx backhaul. Still able to stream Viu smoothly and YouTube 360p.  My umobile at home is quite slow in 3g, much better in 4g. |

I wonder about what kind of G/frequency that emergency number w/o sim uses?

That's why you use a VPN

Since VPNs traffic is encrypted (per advertisement), they couldnt do DPI of a encrypted data. Or else, use SOCKS5 for safety

Or something DNS over HTTPS, for better shielding.

And also USSD menus allows me to have quick shortcuts (contacts with number pointed to a USSD code) to certain stuff that I need, for something like redeem 1gb free internet, buy internet packs, etc.
And it's able to bring up offers that sometimes get hidden in the app or whatever... So yeah, without USSD with LTE these things would be hard to do again. (USSD in LTE does exists though, it's called USSD over IMS, it's sorta related to SIP and VoLTE though, go search yourself for clarification) |

QUOTE(lurkingaround @ Jun 12 2021, 12:40 PM) . If ims is implemented here for sms, wonder why they don't do the same for ussd (cuz that can also be sent over ims)? Legacy platform? Could we see ussd being sunseted if the current situation continues?From your link, ....... "However, the SMS delivery mechanism is somewhat different. " So, 2G/3G SMS is also different from 4G LTE SMS, ie different protocol. I believe 4G SMS is called IMS. ....... https://www.gl.com/newsletter/short-message...newsletter.html - Short Message Service (SMS) Test Solutions over LTE/IMS, UMTS and GSM Networks - 15 June 2018 .
