Okay. 3G is pretty good. No doubt about it.
But from a security perspective (which I suspect is what's driving this), I think 4/5G are better.
Like many instances in security, supporting legacy devices is not a desirable outcome for the security of the network as a whole.
That said, for telcos/the government to unilaterally decide that people's handsets are no longer working (with little to no notice and no financial compensation) is a bit on the nose.
The correct thing would be to let customers come into store with an existing plan and handset, and give them a new phone and bill that back to the government so there's no interruption to services for them.

RIP 3G, you were pretty good.
