Some local advocates for older Valley residents want to get the word out to upgrade any cell phones and other devices that could be connected with older 3G networks that are shutting down.
Wireless providers such as T-Mobile, Verizon and Sprint are shutting down their 3G networks later this year. AT&T already shuttered its 3G network last month.
As of March 31, T-Mobile announced Sprint’s older 3G (CDMA) network will shut down, and Sprint’s LTE network will be shut down on June 30, according to the T-Mobile website.
