New Zealand's 3G network will be retired at the end of the year, making room for more advanced technologies like 4G and 5G.
Launching in 2006, 3G revolutionised communication, allowing users to make video calls and browse the internet on the go.
Many of us have already transitioned to the 4G and 5G network, but tech experts warn that the impact will be larger than people think, with hundreds of thousands of 3G phones and tablets still in use around the country.
To discuss the upcoming shutdown, Jesse is joined by Paul Brislen, CEO of the New Zealand Telecommunications Forum.
