60,000 phones need to be replaced – problems reaching 112

At least 7,000 mobile phones have already been blocked, and at least another 60,000 in the country need to be replaced in order to be able to reach the emergency number 112 via their own network after February 2. If you have been contacted by your operator, take it seriously and act, says Jonas Wessel, head of department at the Swedish Post and Telecom Agency (PTS) at a press conference.

Tens of thousands of mobile phones are blocked – unable to reach 112

Tens of thousands of mobile phone users will not be able to reach the emergency number 112 when the old 2G and 3G networks are shut down. In fact, they will not be able to make calls at all – they will be blocked. Some will be affected as early as Monday.
