Googled dates when 3G is going. - rolling programme, some already gone.

 My provider is  1pMobile who use EE. which Google says switched 3G off in January 2004. Now wondering why my phone is still working and if I really do need a new one!

Your phone uses 2G and 3G. The 2G network is being phased out too but somewhat more slowly that 3G.

Google 2G switch-off for some details.

You can probably continue with your current phone for some time, a 4G phone should give more reliable and clearer reception but it's often down to local coverage/geography/how thick your walls are.

Ideally, try a replacement w/ 4G on the same network to see if it's worth it for you, realise that this is often not an easy thing to organise.
