@Nath @Jumuta Networks made the commercial decision to ditch 3G years ago. But the legislation forcing them to block handsets due to 000 concerns is only a few weeks old.

The issue isn't that the handsets don't work on 4G or 5G, it's that some dropped down to 3G for emergency calls. So the networks have been told to even block some of the handsets they sold as "4G".
