New Zealand is shutting down 2G and 3G networks by March 31, 2026, affecting older devices and emergency calls.
New Zealand’s 3G and 2G networks are shutting down by March 31, 2026, ending support for older phones and devices that rely solely on these networks, including emergency 111 calls.
Customers are urged to check compatibility by texting ‘3G’ to 550, as some older, second-hand, or imported devices—especially certain ASUS models—may not support emergency calls on 4G even if they work otherwise.
Software updates may restore functionality, but some devices may need replacement.
Affected users include those with tablets, smartwatches, alarms, and trackers.
Providers offer free support, recycling via RE:MOBILE, and multilingual resources, warning against scams.
The transition aims to modernize networks and improve efficiency.
