3G SHUTDOWN WILL IMPACT ABILITY TO CALL 911

Many cellular providers are shutting down 3G technology! This phase out, making room for faster technology (like 5G) has already begun and many full shutdowns will be completed in 2022.

This could impact older cell phones (older then iPhone 6 or Galaxy S4) as well as some older security systems, medical alert devices and more. If any of your devices are only capable of using 3G technology, you will NOT be able to use that device to communicate via the cellular network. This means these devices will also be unable to call 911.

If you have a device that you aren't sure if it will be impacted, call your cellular provider and ask!

Please see the attached bulletin for more info or visit this link to an FCC posting about the matter:
