Singapore to stop selling 2G mobile devices for local use from 2017

SINGAPORE, Dec. 7 (PNA/Xinhua) -- Singapore's telcos and mobile providers will stop providing 2G-only mobile devices from Jan. 1, 2017, said the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) in a press release on Wednesday.

This policy is in line with the nationwide cessation of 2G networks by April 1, 2017. However, IMDA said sale of 2G mobile devices for export or overseas use will still be allowed.

"The retirement of the 2G networks will allow more efficient use of the scarce radio frequency spectrum to provide the more advanced 3G and 4G services, which will better meet users' demand for rich multi-media content," IMDA said.

"IMDA strongly encourages consumers and enterprises to replace their 2G-only mobile devices with 3G or 4G-capable mobile devices before April 1, 2017 to avoid disruption to their mobile services," the release added.

Meanwhile, Singapore's three main telcos - M1, Singtel and StarHub - will continue to facilitate their users to switch from 2G to 3G and 4G networks with no additional subscription cost imposed.

Only two percent, or some 160,000 mobile lines in Singapore are based on 2G services. (PNA/Xinhua)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
