Vodafone is about to switch off its 3G signal in Dublin, Cork and Galway.

The country’s largest mobile operator says that some older phones dependent on its 3G network won’t fully work anymore from this month on. The shutdown will also hit some users of Clear Mobile and A Post Mobile in the three counties, as both of the budget mobile operators use Vodafone’s network.
