Does this affect Ontario customers?

@DandMJ some info regarding 3G shutdown

Shutdown that has just started in Manitoba:
https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/get-help/articles/3g-shutdown

If you’re using a 3G-only device, your phone will stop working after these dates:
Manitoba (Rural): January 12, 2026
Manitoba (Urban : Winnipeg & Brandon): Starting March 31, 2026
National: Starting March 1, 2027

If you are unsure if your phone is "futureproof", use the IMEI checker on this page to see if your phone is compatible with PM's VoLTE network:  https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles/volte 

If your phone is not on PM's VoLTE whitelist, you need to plan ahead and start shopping for a phone that is compatible with PM's VoLTE network. 
iPhones 8 or later, Google Pixel 4 or later, Samsung S22/Flip 2/Fold 2/A15/A35/A55 or later, or other major brands of phones released after 2024 and are designed and sold for the Canadian market should work. 
If you are unsure whether a particular phone will work, share the model here and we can help

All carriers will eventually shutdown 3G in Canada like in the USA.

I believe Rogers already shut down their 3G network. Not sure about Bell but I would certainly think about switching devices if you have 3G but I don't know anyone who is not at least 4G by now...
