I do not claim to be a reliable source. As I understand from ATT they will discontinue 3G
in Feb. If, I am right, you have time. We went to an ATT store. Talk about confusion. First of all ATT stores some are company owned and others are privately owned with some sort of contract with ATT. There is no sign on the door saying which is which.
ATT which you can call WILL GIVE YOU a replacement phone for FREE. It is a basic CHEAP phone. I had an apple this is an android. You can buy this phone mail order for like $80.
I'M far from a techno nerd. The ATT owned store, set it up for me at N/C.
Another computer pain but they could not have made it easier. Time wasted running around with misinformation and it was hours well that is my loss.
Teasing a bit. Is there a computer monster that watches ME? It seems every time things become comfortable and I learn the rules of the game, some techno nerd thinks change is needed.
My understanding ATT and the others will stop mainlining the towers in Feb that are on 3G. Again i am not a techno nerd. I think the rest of the world uses the satellites, that we pay to launch.

I have an older (but a goodie) BMW, and I was advised by BMW that the features that use 3G (emergency road service call, etc.) would stop working at the end of 2021. There was no upgrade they were trying to sell me so I think it's legit.
