All 3G and some 4G devices will soon stop working
On 31 August, Telstra’s 3G network will shut down for good. Optus’s
will close from 1 September. TPG Telecom/Vodafone switched theirs off
in January.
Do you use a 3G or older 4G device that connects to a 3G network?
To stay connected, including to 000 emergency services, you’ll need to
upgrade to a new 4G or 5G device before your 3G network shuts down.
Don’t call 000 to test your device.
The 3G shutdown won't just affect phones.
Some EFTPOS machines, medical alarms, personal emergency response
devices, smart watches and tablets will need replacing too.

Yes, Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE) is needed for 4G voice
calls. Unless you used VoWiFi, which may not work for emergency
calls.
