This transition is part of broader efforts to enhance user experience and meet the growing demand for high-speed mobile internet.
The National Commission for Communications Regulation (NCC) has ensured that this process is carried out fairly and transparently. Mobile operators are required to provide subscribers with detailed information and advantageous options to facilitate the switch from 3G to 4G connectivity.
Before the discontinuation of 3G services in certain areas, users will receive advance notifications. If your smartphone is already compatible with 4G, no additional steps are necessary. However, if your device does not support 4G or LTE networks, it is advisable to consider upgrading to a more modern model. This will allow you to enjoy uninterrupted connectivity and the benefits of high-speed internet.
It is important to note that the termination of 3G services will not affect basic functions such as calling, sending SMS, or accessing essential features. However, to ensure seamless access to fast mobile internet, it is strongly recommended to switch to 4G.
To switch to 4G, Android device users can open the "Settings" menu, navigate to "Connections" or "Networks," select "Mobile networks," find the "Network type" or "Network mode" option, and set it to "4G" or "LTE." iOS users can enable 4G by opening "Settings," selecting "Cellular Data," and activating the feature that automatically connects the device to the available network.
