Hey @simax. Unfortunately, we don't have a definitive 3G switch-off date in Plymouth, only that the ball starts to roll in February 2023.
Our '3G switch-off' web page will be updated accordingly with the latest information as we move forward.

@Jason the Network Status map is now beginning to reflect the 3G switch off in Plymouth and Basingstoke, however if you select “Planned Coverage Next 3 Months” the map reloads showing the full coverage, pre-switch off.
This might be a little confusion for customers who either are not aware or less technically inclined if they are checking why there is no 3G in these areas.
Probably a small piece of coding on your mapping will fix it, but wanted to share this feedback.

Now all Vodafone need to do is lower the priority a little on 3G everywhere else. Whenever I travel on the train (which is almost daily) my iPhone is too eager to drop down to 3G with the Vodafone sim. My EE work sim in the same device stays on 4G come hell or high water (even down to 1 bar or 0 bars before dropping down to 3G/2G) - it seems Vodafone likes phones to hand over to 3G much easier as I’ve had my phone drop from 2 bars 4G to 2 bars 3G ….. once the 3G priority is lowered people will benefit more from 4G…
