- The sale of 3G-only&non-VoLTE products for local use will accordingly no longer be allowed.
With effect from 26 July 2023, dealers/equipment suppliers are required to advise customers that 3G services will cease with effect from 31 July 2024, when selling 3G-only&non-VoLTE products to them.
For customers purchasing 4G or 5G mobile/smart phones, dealers/equipment suppliers are also advised to ensure that Voice over LTE (VoLTE) is enabled, or assist the customer to enable VoLTE on the new mobile/smart phones and encourage them to make a test call to ensure that voice calls can be made through VoLTE.
With the cessation of 3G networks, voice call services such as those to emergency services can only be made via VoLTE.
