Not long before the 3G voice gets disabled too so the spectrum can get reused.

Yeah, I'd be surprised if that didn't happen eventually - 2G is already completely phased out here in Australia and all the networks are shutting down their 3G networks this year, so VoLTE/VoNR are the only options now. Surely that will happen eventually in the UK also?

The topic of the article is a 3G shutdown in the UK. It's in the headline!

The second paragraph mentions that 2G will be around for a decade or so longer, so that's the route voice will take.

3G is what's being shut down, so yes, that will go away very soon.
