Eir has announced that it will begin switching off its 3G mobile network in Ireland on a phased basis from October 2026.
Eir has advised that it plans to contact customers directly who are currently using 3G-only services, with guidance on the steps required. This may include updating device settings, replacing a SIM card free of charge, or moving to a compatible device. For customers with a 4G or 5G-enabled smartphone or device, this change is not likely to affect you.
GoMo and Lyca Mobile use the Eir network, so this means that 3G services for its customers are also being retired.
- Eir mobile customers can find more information on its website;
- GoMo mobile customers can find more information on its website;
- Lyca Mobile customers can find more information on its website.
We have advice and information on the future of mobile, which includes more information on 3G retirement.
