Jack Yan (甄爵恩)Iʼve been getting these messages since the end of 2024 and none of the predictions have come to pass. #OneNZ
A week or so ago, the little 3G symbol on my phone turned into HD. Iʼm guessing this is 4G? If so, it looks like the switch-over was a success. And none of the dire warnings designed to get us to buy new phones came to pass. #OneNZ
Those of you who were on OnlyKlans back in the day might remember this happening to me a few years ago, and it went on for years:

Did it stop? Yes. Like most #tech things, it stopped soon after I exposed that it was happening. Sad to know that is the case in Aotearoa, too: that tech does weird stuff till you place it in line with potential jeopardy. It makes you think there was some malicious hand in this, given the timing. #OneNZ #NZ #Aotearoa #technology #spyware
Why does my landline phone dial by itself?
As sent to Vodafone New Zealand today. Anyone know what might be going on? Hi there: Not really a complaint but since you don’t give any options other than compliment and complaint, the latter will have to do! Since moving to Tawa, my landline phone has been calling numbers that no one

One NZ keeps changing its tune about the 3G shutdown
One New Zealand is like the little boy who cried wolf. For most of 2025, it has clearly said, in emails and SMSs, that I needed to change my phone because of the 3G shutdown. I smelled BS because it’s a cinch that if it’s about technology, and a big firm is telling you, you’re
Sounds like old bollocks to me. Am I to believe that 111 calls do not work on standard cellphone frequencies? #OneNZ #CryWolf
For the first time ever, #OneNZ admits that my phone can handle 4G. After about a year of repeated SMSs and voice recordings saying that I was in danger of losing connection once 3G shuts down. Still scaremongering about 111 calls, which they know and we know is absolute shite.
I hope #OneNZ switches on 5G in this area before getting rid of 3G. There is evidence a signal exists, but little evidence of its continued availability. And I know my phone is capable.
#OneNZ (the telco, not the fascist group) keeps delaying my calls by telling me that the 3G network is shutting down, and texting me, and saying I should get a new phone. This is not going to happen. The simple solution is to stop connecting my 5G phone to their 3G network when I use it, especially as I have 5G priority switched on.
Itʼs going to be mayhem for emergencies till the shut-off month this December. Call 111 and get a recording that goes for half a minute …
