Why the end of 2G?

With the rise of 3G, 4G, and 5G, newer network standards offer higher speeds, better coverage, and more advanced capabilities. Phasing out 2G allows providers to focus on delivering improved services and better network performance.

Impact on Your Business

If your business still uses 2G devices or services, it’s important to understand how this change may affect your operations. Older mobile phones, IoT devices, and other systems dependent on 2G will no longer function after the shutdown.

What to do with old SIM cards and equipment?

• Upgrade equipment: consider replacing or upgrading old devices to models compatible with newer network standards.
• Check SIM cards: ensure all active SIM cards are compatible with 3G, 4G, or 5G. Replace outdated SIM cards if needed.
• Update settings: review device settings and configure them to connect to newer networks. Refer to manuals or contact manufacturers for guidance.
   

Adjust your mobile device settings to 4G or 5G?

Tip: Use the online check to see if your device needs adjustment.

Prevent downtime: plan ahead

To avoid disruptions and ensure business continuity, it’s important to act now. Start by inventorying all 2G-dependent equipment and plan necessary upgrades and changes well before the December 1, 2025 deadline.
