Vietnam will begin blocking signals for non-compliant 2G mobile phones as part of its broader plan to fully phase out the 2G service this year, according to the Vietnam Telecommunications Authority (VTA) under the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC). This move aims to create space for the advancement of more modern telecommunications technologies, the authority said.

The VTA has instructed all mobile phone service providers to cease accepting subscribers with mobile phones that exclusively support 2G technology (2G-only phones) unless they are on the MIC list of conformity certification.

Users are also advised to contact their mobile service providers for more information and instructions related to this issue.

Statistics from network operators reported that currently the country has about 15 million 2G subscribers.
