Three 3G Switchoff within 2 weeks

[AGTDenton]

Yeah the HP Elitex3 was something else, Windows phones were amazing, the interface still is the best and as I found it just did many things which you had to install apps for on android or apple. Unfortunately it was too late to market to get get enough users and app support, this didn't bother me much buy I can see how it effected mass adoption.

I will say as much as 2g might work its just starting to get a bit long in the tooth as even whatapps dropped support.

An opportunity lost sadly

Yeah fair point it starts to lose it's capabilities bit by bit. And it's not like there's alternate Windows rooting options AFAIK. Maybe frame it

Just thought if anyone is not receving a million txt messages and emails regarding this, Three's 3G switch off is within 2 weeks. Why they can't provide an exact date I don't know.

If you have any old devices they might not work soon.

iD Mobile, Smarty, Freedompop and Superdrug Mobile use the Three network and will be affected.

No not been advised.

It probably means my phone will only work in the house and with WiFi Calling. Very poor signal area and my phone rarely shows 4G. Sadly I bought my latest 4G phone before I realised they could send a meaningful 5G type signal outside towns.

Ah well we will see what happens.

Next we have the landline being shut down... Though with mainly cold calling salesmen, perhaps that is a good thing.

Is this still your daily phone? It was released 10 years ago, that's impressive if you've managed to keep it for that long.
