3g switch off. New device or new sim?
I understand 3g getting switched off. Do I need to upgrade my phone or just get a new sim

Neither, Sky Sims support 5G, 4G, 3G & 2G by default, switching off 3G will still leave you with 4G.
If your phone supports 5G or 4G/LTE you don't need a new device, check your phones settings menu for this.

Please note I only provide help on the main forums and not via PM, PM's are switched off.

You might well have an issue if the handset is truly antique: say iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy 5 or below. Realistically almost no such hardware is still in use because that's going back more than a decade.
