Airtel has shut down 3G services in this state
Telecom operator Bharti Airtel on Friday said it has shut down its 3G network in Haryana and migrated customers to 4G services. The closure of 3G network is part of the company’s plan to gradually phase out the third generation services across the country.
“Airtel mobile broadband services in Haryana will now be available to customers on its high speed 4G network along with HD quality VOLTE calling. Haryana is the second telecom circle after Kolkata to see the discontinuation of 3G services by Airtel,” Airtel said in a statement.
All customers on Airtel 3G were duly notified and requested to upgrade their handsets and SIMs to continue on Airtel 4G, it added.
Airtel, however, will continue to provide 2G services in Haryana to serve the connectivity needs of customers on feature phones.
