3G switch off
Without 3G, I wouldn't be able to make any calls!
I even spoke to customer service about this, and in order to make actual calls to people (for it to not drop mid-conversation) I have to limit it to 3G max... which means I get utter rubbish data speeds!

Indeed Quin452, one of the potential downsides of 3G network switch OFF.
What handset are you using?The online page at https://help.smarty.co.uk/en/articles/6142278-switching-off-3g may help.

Huh, I was certain I replied to this.
I use a OnePlus Nord 2t 5G phone. It has options for everything from 2G to 5G.Currently, I seem to be getting stable 4G connections, although the quality isn't great (it could be "the other end", for all I know).

At least your OnePlus can use 4G and 5G to make calls, after the Three UK 3G network is turned OFF.
SMARTY's George confirmed that Three UK have begun switching OFF their 3G network, and work is due for completion by end of 2024.
