When does Telus stop supporting 3G?
I received a letter from Telus Security today. It creates a call to action for me to upgrade my security system. Some quotes: "...the 3G network that is being retired across the telecommunicati...
There's no concrete date announced yet from any carrier that I could find. It could be 2025 or it could be sooner. Forbes reported back in May 2022 that "Bell, Telus and Rogers will all stop supporting 3G on December 31, 2022.". Other sites are reporting 2025. We'll only find out the exact date when the carriers actually announce it.
The Americans have already shut down most of their 3G networks. Canada will follow suit eventually.
Similar to timc995. Been told by Telus that I must upgrade now because Telus' support of 3G will stop as of Dec 31 2022. Am not comfortable with the urgency of this (letter received from Telus at the end of Nov 2022 was not date specific). Have also not yet been able to find any specific reference to the sunset date Telus has set for its 3G support.
I contacted Telus support. They pointed me to a Telus web page that described the US shutdown, and how that would affect ROAMING for telus users. I pointed out that my home security system does not ROAM... They were unable to provide any relevant sunset date or other (non-US related) information other than that page.
