Virgin Media O2 is pressing ahead with the shutdown of its 3G network across the UK, in a move that will also affect customers of Giffgaff, Tesco Mobile and Sky Mobile. All three operators run on O2's infrastructure and will follow the same timetable.
The company aims to complete the nationwide switch-off by the end of 2025. While most users already rely on 4G or 5G-enabled devices and will see little change, those with older handsets could lose mobile data access unless they upgrade.
