Some devices, including older mobile phones, will no longer be able to get service when Vodafone becomes the first of the three largest telcos to switch its 3G network off.
I’m thankful that Optus is at least preserving 3G for a little longer. Gives me a bit more time to work out what I’m going to do if my phone does get cut off next year.
Sony Xperia XZ1 running iodéOS 4.7 (Android 13). My network provider is Optus. VoLTE cannot be enabled on the device, though I’m not sure if this is due to network provider incompatibility or the operating system. I have a Galaxy Note 9 running the same operating system that I believe does support VoLTE, so I will most likely go back to using that if the Sony stops working.

Bro which phone ? I think all smartphones run both 4g and 5g.
