Cellular providers paving the way for more advanced network services like G5 in 2022.
Now through the end of 2022, all major cell service providers — like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile — are shutting down their older 3G networks, making room for faster 5G service. The changes have already begun, and will continue through 2022 depending on the carrier.
Any cellphones operating on a 3G network will no longer have call or data service once the network shuts down, including 911 service. Certain 4G mobile phones that don’t support Voice over LTE (VoLTE or HD Voice) will also be phased out.
The FCC recommended that consumers with phones older than an iPhone 6 or a Samsung Galaxy S4 visit their carrier’s website or contact their carrier to see if the shutdown will affect their phone.
