SINGAPORE – From Aug 1, local mobile network operators will begin to bid farewell to 3G, the third-generation wireless technology that helped to usher in modern smartphones.
M1 will be the first to retire its 3G network, as all its 3G customers have subscribed to 4G or 5G services. A small percentage still use 3G handsets but have been urged to move to the latest networks, it said on July 24.
Singtel and StarHub will give their remaining 3G subscribers more time to migrate networks, with plans to discontinue the 3G network from November, the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) said on July 24.
