The shutdown of 3G explained

 

Earlier this year, all networks in the UK and Ireland switched off and retired their 3G mobile networks. To stay connected with complete peace of mind, choose a Doro 4G phone.

The 3G network has disapeared.Here is what that means for us.

  • The 3G signal has been turned off, and any phones that are built to work on this network will subsequently fall back to the basic 2G network.

  • The 4G network offers high-quality calls and better coverage. All this without changing your usage habits.

  • Don’t wait until your 3G device fails to find enough coverage. Easy to use and set up, our 4G phones let you stay connected with complete peace of mind.

The reason behind this decision is to free up radio frequencies and spectrum for newer technologies, ultimately providing faster speeds and greater capacity.

As more and more people use smartphones, usage of the 3G network across network providers had fallen to a small percentage of network traffic.

What exactly is 4G?

4G is the mobile network generation that replaces 3G. It offers better call quality (clearer sound), wider coverage, and a more stable connection. In practical terms, you make calls just as before: your habits don’t change, only the network technology evolves.

What happens if I don’t change my phone?

Now 3G has shutdown across the country, devices that use 3G will revert back to the 2G network which is typically slower and less efficient. You will still be able to make calls and send texts on 2G, but the coverage might be more intermittent.
