• Will your flip phone work tomorrow?

    (US Centric post) Tomorrow marks the day that the phone companies will shut off 3G services in order to make room for 5G. If you have an older flip phone you may need to reach out to the cellular phone company to ensure it works. I know that in my area, the phone company has been swapping out phones for free to get people on supported models.

    If you are unsure, call them (*) today rather than tomorrow.

    (*)yes I know, dealing with their telephone support gives us all high blood pressure.  I have to mentally tell myself to lower my voice and calm down when dealing with them. From the annoying phone menu system to having to go through the basics (yes I rebooted my phone), they are definitely not my favorite tech support experience.
