I take this as all 3G and lower cell phone service regardless of the provider will be discontinued. I also think cell phones are at shortage now due to semiconductor problems. Luckily for us our phones are generation 4 or higher. If you don’t know what generation you’re iPhone, flip phone, or cell phone is I would find out now?

Last year, Verizon told me that the service would switch to 4G only in Dec and the lower service would be dropped. It didn't happen. I wonder if they do this to get folks to purchase newer phones.
