Expectations following 3G Decommission

[foxtrotmike]

Since the announcement that 3G is being decommissioned

I have noticed in a few areas that i am still using 3G, and sometimes 2G

I was wondering what will happen in those areas

• Will those areas get upgraded to 4G (which i can use)
• Or will those areas downgrade to 2G?

@foxtrotmike  You’ll just use 2G if 4G isn’t available in them areas

I Should add Zero Coverage to that list

But what i am actually wondering is whether the 3G turn off will result in a reduction of service in some areas or resulting in no coverage at all.

Hi @foxtrotmike 

Our EE Coverage and Network Status Checker will show available coverage in the areas, and will update if any changes are made.

There should not be any 3G-only areas - U2100 coverage will always overlap with 2G1800 and/or 4G techs.

Non-4G phones will fallback to 2G whenever 3G is unavailable - that applies now and after 3G switchoff.
