Payments provider Tyro has reminded its small business customers to make sure they are no longer using the 3G mobile network to process in-store transactions, ahead of the impending shut-down of the telecommunications network.
Australia’s 3G network is set to be phased out over the coming weeks, prompting concerns that small business that still rely on the network may be caught out.
The major teclos each have deadlines for when their customers will no longer be able to access it. For Telstra, this deadline is August 31, while Optus customers have until September 1. TPG Telecom/Vodafone has already turned off its 3G network.
