BT has updated the schedule to phase out 3G services from its networks a
little later than planned, saying this will now start early next year.

Britain’s former state-owned telecoms operator says the EE mobile
division will commence a nationwide 3G switch off in January 2024 and
plans to complete the process by March, but is keen for everyone to know
it aims to take a responsible approach to turning out the lights.

As part of this, the telco promised that all of customers that are
registered as vulnerable will be offered a free 4G-ready mobile phone,
or a discount on a monthly plan if they prefer to choose their own
handset, to ensure they still have a phone service once 3G is turned
off.
