Am I required to change my current SIM Card?
If you are currently using a 4G device but can only access 3G network wherever you go, then it is very likely you are using an older SIM card.

If I decide to not upgrade or switch to 4G upon 3G Sunset, what will happen to my current contract/plan?
Your current contract and plan will remain the same. However, you will experience a drop in the quality of data service as you will only be able to use services on the 2G network.
What will I experience once I’ve switched to a 4G device with 4G network, as compared to 3G network?
Once you’ve switched to our 4G network with a 4G device, you will enjoy better network coverage and higher data speeds.
