One of Australia 's major telcos has announced it will delay the planned shutdown of its 3G network to give customers more time to upgrade their devices.“Telstra have been communicating the closure of the network for nearly five years but understand there are a range of reasons why some people haven’t moved on,” a Telstra spokesman said.
From Monday, the customers still on the 3G network will hear a message reminding them they need to upgrade. All Australian telcos will shutter the 20-year-old network as part of an industry-wide change first announced in 2019 to allow carriers to boost capacity for later generation networks. “Connectivity is a critical tool, and so we can’t spare any time or expense when it comes to keeping our rural and regional communities connected and safe,” she said.
