The 2G/3G shutdowns in the USA, Australia and Sweden haven't been a smashing success. There was (the threat of) regulatory interventions in all 3 countries, roaming and wholesale partners caught unaware, death in Australia, handset blocks in Sweden and Australia and the dismissal of telco executives in Australia. Emergency calls in Sweden requiring a paper clip after shutdown was "unexpected". I'm thinking of doing a write-up of the experience so far, also with information I heard from other countries (but can't attribute), eg that inbound roamers are a particular issue, because turning off mobile data to prevent bill shock may impair emergency calls, their calls lack AML data after shutdown or that the operators don't see the correct number for inbound roamers. Do you have any experiences you can share of what went right or wrong elsewhere in the world? If you want to communicate off the record, ask for my Signal. #2gshutdown #3gshutdown #VoLTE #mobile #emergencycalls
