In this article we will review and update the communicated dates of 2G and 3G sunset in Latin American countries.
Why are 2G and 3G networks shutting down?
The reason why networks are shutting down 2G and 3G is quite simple: fewer and fewer devices use these networks, they are expensive to maintain, and the freed-up resources can be used for newer technologies such as 5G.
