switch-off of the 2G & 3G mobile networks
3rd of April 2026
Telecoms operators are gradually phasing out 2G and 3G networks in Europe.
This deactivation, initiated in 2024, will continue until 2029, according to a timetable specific to each operator, country by country. This situation will have an impact on the operation of widely used equipment and products (e.g. remote monitoring systems, lifts, home medical devices, etc.).
In Ireland, the switch-off of the 2G and 3G networks, in waves and by region. To find out more about the mobile network shutdown in Ireland , read more here
From this date onwards, the loss of the 3G network will render the eCall feature inoperable in geographical areas where neither 2G nor 3G is available. It will remain operational in countries and geographical areas where a 2G or 3G network is still active.
The SOS button on the vehicle’s overhead console can be used to check the status of the eCall system. For further information, please refer to your vehicle owner’s manual.
Please note: driving the vehicle is not affected by the shutdown of the 2G or 3G networks. The vehicle remains fully compliant with its certification.
Renault Group continues to assess the impact of the 2G and 3G shutdown on a model-by-model and country-by-country basis, with a view to identifying whether alternatives are possible.
