EIR SWITCHING OFF ITS 3G NETWORK

Eir will begin retiring its 3G network in Kildare on 14 October, as part of a nationwide effort to enhance 4G and 5G services. The switch-off is happening in phases across all counties. 

Most customers, who already use 4G and 5G, will not be affected. However, a small number of 3G-only users have been contacted with instructions to upgrade, such as updating device settings or obtaining a free SIM card. Calls and texts will remain unaffected, and customers can seek assistance at eir.ie/3Gswitchoff/ or in stores. 

This move aligns with an industry trend towards faster technologies.
