3G Sunset Impact Assessment

3G has been largely phased out. Ensure all devices support 4G VoLTE minimum.

Vodafone

Completed (June 2024)

3G network fully shut down. Only 4G and 5G services active.

In Progress (March 2025)

3G shutdown rolling out by region. Some areas already completed.

Three

In Progress (Late 2025)

3G being phased out to reallocate spectrum to 4G/5G.

Planned (2025-2026)

3G sunset confirmed but timeline varies by region.

Replace 3G-only devices before shutdown completion. Ensure VoLTE is enabled on your handset for voice calls over 4G.
