Vodafone Idea Ltd serving under the brand name Vi is now getting ready to shut down its 3G services across its circles in India by 2022 and will shift its focus towards 4G services. The operator will continue to offer 2G services, while its network is 5G ready as well.
The process will be a phased shut down which will finish after the operator is done refarming all its 2100 MHz and 900 MHz spectrum to offer 4G services. Vi has already commenced the process of refarming of 3G spectrum to 4G across 7 cities in Uttar Pradesh, which will substantially enhance GIGAnet 4G capacity in these cities.
