        I've got a SMS from my provider here in Gemany, Fonic (I think O2 is behind it) saying that they move to 4G/LTE until the end of 2021. Does this mean I have to look for another provider?

          @guru I've received the same from Telekom/T-mobile. The background is that the old 3G/UMTS-services are going to be turned-off to install more 4G/5G-services. Here in Germany the most providers are going to turn off the 3G-services in the middle of 2021.
          This doesn't mean you have to switch to another provider or to other hardware. It only means, that from the pojnt of turn-off you can only use 2G/4G/5G instead of 2G/3G/4G/5G. If your device (BQ E4.5?) only can handle 2G/3G, you can still phone and surf with 2G (of course internet is slower, but still usable for basic things).

            WIFI will be always usable with bq 4.5 and will still allow to use a good internet connection.
