2G and 3G status at Hrvatski Telekom
| Network | Status | Date | Confidence | Sources and notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2G | No plan announced | none | low | korewireless.com KORE lists 'No specific planning'. No HT statement on 2G found. |
| 3G | Switched off | 30 January 2025 | high | t.ht.hr Phased from March 2024 (Osijek first), then Zagreb and coastal cities; last areas switched off on 30 January 2025. |
Confidence is high when the operator or the regulator states the date, medium when several independent sources agree, low otherwise. We recheck every month.
What it means for IoT devices on Hrvatski Telekom
- 2G keeps running for now. Hrvatski Telekom has announced no closing date, so 2G fallback still helps devices that roam in Croatia, but new designs should not depend on it.
- 3G fallback no longer works on Hrvatski Telekom. Devices built for 3G (UMTS) or that fall back to it lose service; 4G devices with 2G fallback are not affected by this closure.
- For new devices, choose 4G-based technologies: LTE Cat-1 bis, LTE-M or NB-IoT where the network offers them.
- Foreign SIMs in Croatia: permanent roaming is governed by the EU roaming regulation, which generally allows it under wholesale agreements between operators. Details on the Croatia page.
An M2M.global IoT SIM is not tied to a single network in a country, and its data can reach your cloud without the internet through private delivery.
