AT&T turned off my $300 phone and sent me a $20 to replace it because it's not specifically 4G LTE Meanwhile AT&T sent me a $300-400 5G phone for free but I had already bought a new (budget~ $200-250 Moto 4G phone a few months prior. I shoulda waited). Well at least now if I want to go through the pain in the ass process of setting up and personalizing a new phone I got a 5G phone with higher resolution to switch to, and/or if I break this one somehow but doubt I will. --- Playing: ER, TotA, TW3: B&W, MH:R, MHW: IB | MR329+/HR 561+ | LS/CB/GS/BOW "The imagination is a weapon, those who don't use it, die first" ...

I believe they are ending or did end 3G because now there is 4G and 5G and by doing so they can free up more frequency's to be used for other things that 3G occupied. So not really planned obsolescence but more of removing of old tech to make way and room for new and better tech. Planned obsolescence is what apple does to their phones where they intentionally slow them down after a few years to force you to buy a new one. I think France passed some law against it and Apple had to roll out some update and magically all those old "slow" phones started working almost like new again. --- 5-27-15 The day Gfaqs died i7 10700k | MSI MAG Z490 TOMAHAWK | EVGA RTX 2070 SUPER | CORSAIR 32GB RAM | LG 27'' 144hz @1440p | Win10 x64 ...

That's not planned obsolescence, that's when something internal has a timed lifespan. Like a drill not having basic protection built into it so it breaks faster and you need to buy another drill. This is not supporting your product anymore. Ya should know these differences. ... Copied to Clipboard!

3g Tech is from the late 90's. The first 3g in the US available to consumers was in 2002, then we got 4g around 2008 if I'm reading the wiki article right. agesboy posted... no company should make a $300 phone manufactured within the last 5 years unusable So my mind is just completely blown that this is a thing? My mind is unable to grasp how a phone would be made in the last 5 years depending on 20+ year old 3g tech and be worth even a hundred bucks. ... Copied to Clipboard!

My mind is unable to grasp how a phone would be made in the last 5 years depending on 20+ year old 3g tech and be worth even a hundred bucks.I think it had something to do with certain carriers (AT&T) not adopting VoLTE. T-Mobile was one of the first adopters iirc, but AT&T never fully switched over and has weird issues with phone locking or something. I've never had a carrier locked phone, so not really familiar with it (easy enough to buy a $200-$400 unlocked phone). --- You're a regular Jack Kerouac Not removing this until I've left March 2020. ...
