Less than two months before 3G shut downs continue

July 18, 2024 6:52 am in by

There are now just six weeks to go before Telstra and Optus begin to shut down their 3G mobile networks with local residents being urged to act now or risk being cut-off.

Telstra’s 3G network is set to close on August 31 with the Optus 3G network to close from September.

Vodafone has already closed its 3G network earlier this year.

Louise Hyland from the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association says the shut-down will impact 3G phones and devices, as well as some older 4G models.

You can check whether your mobile phone is impacted on either network at any time by texting the number “3” to “3498”.
