Airtel has announced that it is suspending 3G services in select Indian cities, which has left consumers very unhappy and shocked. In 2019, Airtel had suspended 3G services beginning with Kolkata, with only 4G services being available henceforth. Now, the services have been suspended in Maharashtra, Goa, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Kerala, Karnataka, Punjab, Haryana and Gujarat as well.
This means that customers in these regions need to update their phones or shift to a SIM that enables 4G. An announcement about the same has also come from Bharti Airtel via its distributors.
Meanwhile, Airtel’s 3G services will be suspended throughout the country from March 2020. It is learnt that Airtel has resorted to this in a bid to strengthen its 4G services throughout the country.
