2G and 3G UK Mobile Services to be Switched Off by 2033

The Government has unveiled a new agreement with the four primary mobile network operators, including Vodafone, EE (BT), O2 (VMO2) and Three UK, which among other things will see existing 2G and 3G signals being “phased out” by 2033 (benefitting 4G / 5G services and mobile broadband) and a new target for OpenRAN adoption.
A few early Smart Meters and other Internet of Things (IoT) services are still dependent upon 2G.

It's all witchcraft to me. All I know is when my phone tries using 5G everything stops working so had to turn it off.
