“Talk and data services won’t work for older wireless phones and devices that don’t support at least 4G LTE and HD Voice,” the support doc states.
For those still rocking an AT&T 3G phone, the company handily offers an extensive chart of devices that will still work once 3G disappears. The list mentions over 150 models, including popular options like the new Samsung Galaxy S20, Google’s Pixel series, and iPhones from the 6 onward.
Other mobile operators have their own plans for leaving 3G. Verizon, for one, moved on late last year and as of January 1, 2020, “3G/4G non-HD Voice CDMA devices can’t be activated for any new line of service.”
