3G switch off in my area. Phone/sim what next?

Bob2000

Hello,
I received  a email/text yesterday from my phone provider "3" telling me that the 3G network will be closed on 27th Nov. 

I currently  use a Samsung Galaxy M13, which l think is 4g ready???
But I'm not sure about the Sim card in the phone.
When l go on setting, there is no available 4G just 2G, 3G, and  LTE/3G/2G, which it's currently set at
.
So do l need a new 4G sim or phone or both??? 

I'm not very technical and this is my only phone.

Thanks.

LTE is 4G and will still work when 3G is turned off.     Also, the M13 supports VoLTE so you'll be fine.

The only possible snag is the SIM. If it’s ancient, say, over 8–10 years old, it might be a 3G-only SIM that can’t register properly on 4G networks.

Ask Three?  They should provide a 4G SIM if yours does not support.  I suspect of the phone offers LTE as an option you should be good.

The sim is about 4ish years old but lve kept the number for 11 years over two sim cards.

I will probably  pop into one of their shop tomorrow  but wanted some basic info, so I'm not just  sitting there not knowing  what they are on about when trying to sell me something l don't need.

At 4 years old I'm sure it will be 4G enabled, but definitely wise to check!
