VMO2 calls time on 3G

UK operator VMO2 will begin the process of switching off 3G services in 2025, which it says will enable it to expand and upgrade its 4G and 5G footprint and save some energy.
3G services will be turned off in phases across the UK, a process which the operator expects to be complete by the end of 2025. VMO2 estimates last year 3G – which launched two decades ago – accounted for less than 4% of all data on its network last year.
2G will be switched off by 2033, but will remain in place
