HT Continues Shutting Down Its 3G Network

Hrvatski Telekom is continuing to shut down its 3G network in Croatia, accelerating the transition to more energy-efficient 4G and 5G technologies. The move is in line with HT's sustainable business strategy.

After the successful shutdown of the 3G network in the areas of ​​Osijek and Zagreb, from November 4 to 15, the 3G network will be shut down in the areas of ​​Dubrovnik, Makarska, Pula, Rijeka, Split, Šibenik, and Zadar, parts of Dubrovnik-Neretva, Istria, Primorje-Gorski Kotar, Split-Dalmatia, Šibenik-Knin, and Zadar counties.

By freeing up frequency resources and capacity, 4G and 5G technologies are improved, which enables users to use the advanced services. Additionally, focusing on faster and more advanced mobile technologies and services creates opportunities for further innovation and improved connectivity, which positively impacts social and economic development.

For users who use 2G or 3G devices, HT ensured the continuation of the use of call services and SMS messages via 2G, and the use of data traffic under the capabilities of 2G. However, to achieve a significantly better mobile internet experience, users are recommended to replace their devices with new 4G and/or 5G models.

HT said it will inform its users regularly and promptly about the implementation method and the dynamics of the 3G technology shutdown procedure. The completion of the 3G network shutdown project is expected at the beginning of next year.
