Can I Still Make Calls & Send Texts  On 3G In 2024 On My Old Nokia Phone

@4479 : Yes, until EE shuts down 3G in early 2024. After which you may make calls & texts over 2G until that is shut down by 2033.

So Do I Need To Do Anything To Go From 3G To 2G To Make Calls Or Will My Old Phone Do This Automatically

Your phone will auto downgrade to 2G when necessary.

Any 3G-only phone already drops back to 2G when there is no 3G coverage. All that changes post-3G shutdown is that this will be a permanent state of affairs.

You're likely to see 3G coverage become more & more scarce over time.

Also you appear to have used your mobile number as your forum username - spammers may well use this as a means to start contacting you.
