I chatted to Three online about this. They said basically relax, they're upgrading their network, and I'll have a decent signal before the cut-off of May 15th. What they're doing is probably along the ines of what @Dave1 described:I've just had a notification from Three saying that it is now no longer supported.
It's still working at least, but I suppose it's time I looked for a new phone and contract . . .
So I'm going to give it a week or 10 days before I push the panic button. I'll do the research as to what my best non-Three option is, but seeing as how I'm only paying £9.00 per month for unlimited voice, texts and data, I'm reluctant to jump ship if I don't have to!VoLTE actually adds an extra frequency to the spectrum, only VoLTE enabled phones can use this low frequency 800MHz band, this gives much greater distance from a cell site and greater in-building penetration when compared to the standard 1800MHz Three operate their 4G on.
It extends so much further in many areas that it can be the only coverage available, if they allowed non-VoLTE phones to use it they wouldn’t have any 3G to drop down to in order to make calls, hence why VoLTE only is allowed to connect..
