The Phase-Out of the 3G Network in Poland \u2013 What Can You Do to Keep Your Cell Phone Number?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Polish telecom operators are gradually shutting down their 3G networks. Play was scheduled to end its service as early as 2024, while Orange, T-Mobile, and Plus are following a shutdown schedule that runs through the end of 2026. For millions of users, this means one thing: older phones and M2M devices will lose coverage, and connections will stop working.
But there is a good solution\u2014and you don\u2019t have to give up your number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Why are mobile carriers turning off 3G?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

3G networks occupy frequency bands that operators want to allocate for the expansion of LTE (4G) and 5G. The phase-out of older technology is an inevitable step\u2014just as 1G and, to some extent, 2G were phased out before. The effects will be felt primarily by:
companies using old telephone exchanges and GSM gateways,
owners of IoT devices and alarms operating on 3G SIM cards,
users of phones that do not support VoLTE (Voice over LTE),
businesses with mobile numbers assigned to specific devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does this mean for your business?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your business uses mobile numbers as its primary contact numbers\u2014on business cards, in email footers, and in advertisements\u2014losing 3G coverage could result in real business losses. Customers won\u2019t be able to reach you, orders will be lost, and you\u2019ll end up paying for an inactive SIM card.
The solution? Port your mobile number to ACTIO VoIP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VoIP mobile number \u2013 how does it work?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
