I just upgraded to a newer phone 5g. For $150. There were cheaper options too. I want to say that they had a free one too, but can’t remember for sure. I use cricket, and it’s unlimited service for $35 a month.

Progress supposedly equals convenience. BOTH are certainly
expensive. Years ago it was record players and vinyl LPs. Then 8 track, cassette, CDs and MP3. They do enjoy finding
the means to make one pay. “Sixteen Tons”. Now buying a new car and the monthly payments made to be able to use the devices purchased with that car will be costing a small fortune. They caught us all in their spider web of progress/convenience. Devious creatures.

I have no need for 5G. 4G LTE is fast enough. The CCP and others are already planning for 6G and 7G. Surveillance state here we come! Cash transactions banned here we come! Mark of the beast, here we come!

I can see a future where if you want to communicate in 7G and possess a 7G phone. That you will have to get chipped and you must carry a QR code in your phone (aka Gov’t tracking device) that reveals your medical and Covid-29 vaxxxx status

I’m interested in satellite phones. One guy was on War Room yesterday and it sounded pretty good (Satellite Phone Store). The closest they can be located is 50 miles (IIRC), instead of a few feet with cellular. Other good privacy options.

I know they’ve been around for several years, as my friend took one with him hiking alone in god-forsaken areas of northern California. But with cellular so intrusive, sat phones might take off. Plans are expensive for now, but that could change if people make them popular.

“The 5G move is really only for Big Tech profit.”

I think it’s more insidious than profits. Facilitates more government intrusion, I think.

“The 5G move is really only for Big Tech profit. Almost no one will get faster service, in fact the rural customers are getting screwed as stuff is shutdown.”

I’ve said this before. 5G gives greater speed and simultaneous connections in a given area. With closer-spaced towers it allows the location of a user to be more accurately determined.

I won’t pass judgment.

Regarding rural customers, are they going to sprinkle enough shorter-range 5g towers out in sparsely populated areas so those customers get service? Are some rural customers going to lose service?

“Then he called all the other employees out of the back room to check it out”

A sales guy at our T-Mobile store did the same thing when I brought in my BlackBerry Classic. (The kind Hillary smashed.) Everyone (kids) acted like it was a rotary dial phone. Turns out he LOVES the Classic but hadn’t seen one in a while. I don’t know if it’ll work after this change. It’s basically 3G, but you can go to settings and select 4G.

Rural areas will stay on 4G for awhile. 5G doesn’t have much benefit except for congested areas where bandwidth is at a premium. The only 4G network that’s being retired is Sprint, and that’s because it’s redundant.

Intrusions even into our bodies, if a lot of these government and commercial documents outlining how those frequencies can interact with nanoparticles in our bloodstream are correct ,and there are more being exposed every day. Here’s a short report, this is NOT science fiction.

It would seem their would be market for those who want to stay on 3G. Just one carrier could make a bundle on old geezer phones.

Unfortunately it is the airwaves that are going to be re-used in someway. FCC involved to the hilt.

I heard that and was intrigued.

I have a 3G/4G "hot spot" device on my Verizon account. It goes with me on business trips to ensure that I have network connectivity. It fulfills that responsibility at home as well. If the fiber goes down, I can go with the hot spot. Since I'm being charged monthly for the device, I'm going to see if Verizon has an upgrade that is 5G enabled.

I'm wondering if my Samsung Watch 3 will be impacted. I have the 4G LTE model. I can only wear it intermittently. The fancy sensors for SP02 and pulse cause a 2nd degree burn on my skin directly below the sensor window. Lots of other owners complained about the same issue. Samsung called my watch back for 5 weeks. I spent hours on the phone trying to either get a refund or have my property returned. They claimed to have performed some "repair". It was returned. No change in behavior. Disappointing. It's a great watch.

I have heard that a simple solution, though not perfect, is to put a piece of Mylar yellow tape over the sensor on the back of the watch...........

It goes beyond profit. We are talking about control. . . leading to the NWO and the Tribulation with a capital T.

I “upgraded” to a thirty dollar phone—I just use it to make calls—no apps, no video.

They are out there....

T-Mobile announced that it will finish shutting down Sprint's 3G CDMA network by March 31, 2022 and Sprint's 4G LTE network by June 30, 2022

That's what it says..............

No, navigation systems do not require the use of 3G to work.

Sprint is going away due to merger with T-Mobile. T-Mobile will continue 4G LTE for many years.
