| Many telecommunications networks will block non-standard 2G waves from March 1, 2024. |
At the same time, mobile telecommunications businesses are responsible for widely communicating the implementation of solutions to control and prevent connections to this mobile telecommunications network to their customers; at the same time, publicizing information on contact points for resolving customer complaints.
In the announcement of the Ministry of Information and Communications, it is stated that people who have questions and complaints about 2G phones not being able to connect to the network should call the customer care center of the network operators for support and guidance.
This is considered the latest move to realize the policies and directions to stop 2G mobile technology, popularize smartphones to promote the digital economy and digital society that have been issued in recent times.
Before the official announcement of the Ministry of Information and Communications on preventing non-compliant 2G phones from joining new networks, telecommunications carriers proactively notified customers, recommending that they quickly check whether their SIM and phone support 4G or not to make the earliest conversion.
At the same time, Viettel network has launched a 4G "upgrade" program through many attractive incentive programs for 2G subscribers switching to 4G.
The complete shutdown of 2G waves aims to utilize frequency resources for modern telecommunications technologies, in line with development trends. One of the benefits of shutting down 2G waves is to promote 100% of Vietnamese people to use smartphones.
