Will many cell phones stop working at year end?
Service providers have been shutting down 3G and earlier systems to re-purpose that spectrum for 4G.
While most people have phones with 4G(LTE,HSPA+, what else??) some may only have 3G phones (GSM,CDMA, and ??)
Phone company may warn subscribers with 3G only devices of the coming end but there are accessories to phones which may stop being of use all of a sudden -, like signal boosters, various data only transceivers (IoT)
I see all kinds of gadgets being sold online that only operate on 3G, maybe those will work in some countries, but not here.
Maybe I am wrong, thats why we don't hear any warnings on the media.
Or am I correct? If so which acronyms should we avoid?
