As mobile technology continues to evolve, many network operators are phasing out older generations of connectivity. The shutdown of 2G and 3G networks - commonly referred to as sunsetting - allows operators to free up valuable spectrum and resources for newer technologies such as 4G LTE and 5G.
On this page, we provide up-to-date information and lists of announced 2G and 3G network shutdowns around the world.
