Obviously, Wayne was "too hip for the room"..... (Since I don't use my K3 in outer space, it operates under 1G)

I also like 0G on my K3S! John KK9A Gwen Patton NG3P wrote: I have a couple of phones that I just put month-to-month sim cards from Ting into. They're served by T-Mobile. One of my old phones is definitely getting obsoleted out, but that's fine, it's an ancient 2g "Feature Phone" I got from Ebay on a whim. I don't THINK it's a 3g phone...it's one of those Samsung Gravity "Sidekick" style keyboard phones. The only other phone I have one of those cards in is my Inrico 320, and that's safely 4g. I'll probably deactivate the card from the old feature phone rather than pay line charges on it, and buy a new card if I get another phone. I'm not worried about the Gravity, it only cost me about $40 on Ebay anyway, and it was just a whim to get a cool phone I couldn't afford when it was actually popular. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 73, Gwen, NG3P On Tue, Feb 15, 2022 at 11:17 PM Wayne Burdick <n6kr at elecraft.com> wrote: > Major cellular networks are planning to phase out 3G support in favor > of 4G and 5G, starting this month with AT&T.
