By December 31, 2025, a seismic shift in Israel’s mobile infrastructure will sever lifelines for up to a million users, including tens of thousands of Charedim, unless swift action is taken. In what could become one of the most disruptive transitions in Israeli tech history, the Ministry of Communications is mandating a full shutdown of the country’s aging 2G and 3G cellular networks. While framed as a necessary leap toward high-speed 4G and 5G, the move risks plunging vulnerable populations—especially the elderly, low-income families, and Charedim—into sudden, silent isolation. The shutdown isn’t just a technical milestone.
