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.
Thx for the info. BTW, I was contacted by another Telus sales rep this past friday regarding upgrading my 3G security system. I asked that she provide me with any sunset date that has been set by Telus as to when it will no longer be providing 3G support. I indicated I wanted this info because the only reason I was considering upgrading my system at this point in time is because of Telus' Nov 2022 letter which indicated that if i do not upgrade to 4G, my 3G security system will no longer function. The sales rep didn't know the the answer but she did agree to check and let me know. (Without this info, its difficult for the customer to make a well reasoned decision. It's too bad Telus didn't provide more clarity on this point when it sent out its letter advising that we needed to book an appointment for a mandatory upgrade of our 3G security systems.)
