Wow that sentence, much like your assertion that they’re getting rid of 3G just to track you, makes not one damn lick of sense.

Yesterday's conspiracy theories are today's truth. Where have you been?

It’s economic factors. Period. Anybody saying otherwise is spewing nonsense. Like that sentence. Really. That’s just straight up gobbledygook.

Again, yesterday's conspiracy theories have been proven to be today's truth. Where have you been?

The infrastructure costs for 3G were sunk long ago and have been nothing more than pure gravy (profit) for telecom. That's a fact whether or not you or I like it.

I don't have a dog in this hunt. I'm hanging onto my 4 year old Galaxy S9 as long as I can, primarily because I don't want or need 5G nor the higher costs associated with it.

What's the problem with that, other than impacting your Wireless Carrier profit margins and dividends you receive as a result?

Yesterday’s idiocy is today’s idiocy. Just because clowns want to believe it doesn’t make it true.

While there is sunk cost there is also continuing costs. Antennae need to be maintained, the towers they’re on need to be maintained, often times that land is rented which must continue to be paid, they burn electricity. Not to mention they replace the antennae and make them much more useful 5G towers.

My phone was old and crusty and crashing. I upgraded. Went 5G. No biggy. I don’t give a damn if you upgrade or not. I’m pointing out that somebody saying they’re ending 3G to EOL phones you can easily disconnect from the battery so they can track is saying paranoid nonsense.

I make no money from wireless. In fact, my money comes from one of the oldest wired forms of communication in the world. But I’m a big fan of logic and thinking. Which the 3G EOL conspiracy violates both.
