Think you're ok as your phone is 4g?
YOU MAY BE AT RISK
Some older 4g phones (it seems mostly like those made prior to 2019) do not have the capability to use Voice Over LTE (VoLTE) which will be required to allow calls to 000 in the case of an emergency once the 3g network is closed.
If you are on the Telstra network, you can check your post-3g functionality by texting the number 3 to 3498. When you do this, you will be advised on what you need to do.

Thanks for the head up, not many people would be aware of that, l was certainly surprised reading this post.
