AT&T Shuts Down
Its 3G Network.
CNN reports AT&T will shut down
its 3G network on Feb. 22.
The technology, which was
implemented 20 years ago in the
U.S., will come to an end in order
to repurpose the spectrum
for 4G and 5G.
AT&T says it has advised
customers for two years to
make the switch from 3G.
For nearly two years, we’ve proactively sent numerous communications via direct mail, bill messaging, emails and text messages to help customers transition to next generation networks before 3G services end on February 22, AT&T, to CNN Business.
Other major carriers will
follow suit later this year.
CNN reports T-Mobile will ends its 3G network in the third quarter, and Verizon will do the same by the end of the year.
