The plan to shutdown 3G is flawed, this dumb government didn't bother to think much of the outcome when coming up with this idea.

Yes, 3G is bound to be retired in the future, but 2021 is too early considering the fact that we have too much issues with our network.

The biggest problem is not all telcos have proper VoLTE support yet (and don't tell me about Celcom because it's only available for iPhones), imagine having to rely on 2G for voice calls, it will affect the usage and probably even the battery life when our phone suddenly switches to 2G.

Another problem is some apps can barely even run on 2G. It's ironic that they encourage people to go cashless and use e wallets but then e wallets will have a hard time loading when running on 2G.

This government is dumb and this plan is flawed and that's a fact.

Don't think the govt knows what's VoLTE, otherwise they would've force telcos to do so way back then.

Digi and U Mobile been having VoLTE for ages now, I just don't get why it would take so many years for Maxis and Celcom to even launch such simple tech to consumers, and now it's not even widely available yet.

Speaking of VoLTE, wonder when are they gonna force MVNO's to speed up in adopting VoLTE, now that all main telcos already support VoLTE?

It bugs me when MVNO's especially Yoodo are trying to ignore this and giving bunch of excuses like "implementing VoLTE will cause them to increase their pricing which they don't want to" (which ironically they already did anyways) even after many customers have already asked about this for so long in their community group...

Not being able to use VoLTE is really a pain in the arse sometimes.
