Specific network bands can be used by multiple wireless generations such as 3G, 4G, and 5G. However, each network band can only be used for one wireless protocol at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a finite number of available bands and consumer demand for faster and more widely available 4G and 5G coverage, all major carriers are repurposing spectrum currently allocated to legacy networks for use with their next-generation networks. In other words, legacy 3G networks are going away in order to make 4G and 5G networks better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which-wireless-networks-shut-down-in-2022\"><\/span>Which wireless networks shut down in 2022?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many legacy wireless networks operated by major US carriers shut down in 2022. AT&amp;T, T-Mobile, and Verizon sunsetted their legacy 3G networks, and T-Mobile has also shut down all support for Sprint 4G LTE devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When-was-the-3G-sunset\"><\/span>When was the 3G sunset?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>AT&amp;T 3G GSM\/UMTS<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.att.com\/support\/article\/wireless\/KM1324171\/\">February 22, 2022<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sprint 3G CDMA<\/strong> &#8211; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.t-mobile.com\/support\/coverage\/t-mobile-network-evolution\" target=\"_blank\">March 31, 2022<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sprint 4G LTE<\/strong> &#8211; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.t-mobile.com\/support\/coverage\/t-mobile-network-evolution\" target=\"_blank\">June 30, 2022<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>T-Mobile 3G GSM\/UMTS<\/strong> &#8211; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.t-mobile.com\/support\/coverage\/t-mobile-network-evolution\" target=\"_blank\">July 1, 2022<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Verizon 3G CDMA<\/strong> &#8211; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/about\/news\/3g-cdma-network-shut-date-set-december-31-2022\" target=\"_blank\">December 31, 2022<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is-my-phone-or-wireless-device-affected\"><\/span>Is my phone or wireless device affected?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Any device that relies on a legacy 3G network connection will be affected by the network shutdowns. In addition, legacy Sprint 4G LTE devices that have been grandfathered under the T-Mobile umbrella will also be affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that older phones such as the iPhone 5S and Galaxy S4 won\u2019t be able to connect to wireless networks after the sunset dates listed above. The same holds true for the majority of Sprint-branded phones that previously connected to the Sprint 4G LTE network. Newer devices such as the iPhone 6 and Galaxy S5 can connect to 4G LTE networks from major carriers \u2013 so they should be fine for now, as long as you are happy with your existing network and coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are other cellular devices affected?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Any device with a 3G cellular connection or a Sprint 4G LTE connection will be affected by the 2022 3G Shutdown. For example, many automotive-connected devices may be affected, including older OnStar systems and certain remote start systems. If your vehicle features an OnStar system and you wish to find out if you\u2019re affected by the 3G sunset, please refer to the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.onstar.com\/us\/en\/support\/3g-network-sunset\" target=\"_blank\">OnStar 3G Network Sunset support page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which-phones-will-work-after-the-3G-shutdown\"><\/span>Which phones will work after the 3G shutdown?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apple-iPhone-Network-Compatibility-in-2023\"><\/span>Apple iPhone Network Compatibility in 2023<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, 3G iPhones (iPhone 5S and older) won\u2019t work properly after the 3G sunset. Conversely, iPhones starting with the iPhone 6 will continue to work on 4G LTE. Here\u2019s a comprehensive iPhone network support list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table table-hover table-condensed\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>2G\/3G Only (Won\u2019t Work in 2023)<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Support 4G LTE and\/or 5G<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Original iPhone<\/td><td>iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>iPhone 3G<\/td><td>iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>iPhone 3GS<\/td><td>iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>iPhone 4<\/td><td>iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>iPhone 4S<\/td><td>iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>iPhone 5<\/td><td>iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>iPhone 5S<\/td><td>iPhone 12, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, 12 mini<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>iPhone 13, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max, 13 mini<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>iPhone SE, iPhone SE 2, iPhone SE 3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Samsung-Network-Compatibility-in-2023\"><\/span>Samsung Network Compatibility in 2023<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Older Samsung Galaxy phones such as the Galaxy S4 and earlier won\u2019t work anymore in 2022 and beyond. However, since Samsung was relatively quick to adopt 4G LTE way back in 2014 with the Galaxy S5 (LTE model), the majority of Samsung devices will continue to work through 2022 and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table table-hover table-condensed\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>2G\/3G Only (Won\u2019t Work in 2023)<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Supports 4G LTE and\/or 5G<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Galaxy S<\/td><td>Galaxy S5 (US models)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Galaxy S2<\/td><td>Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Galaxy S3<\/td><td>Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, S7 Active<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Galaxy S4<\/td><td>Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, S8 Active<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Galaxy S5 (3G International Model)<\/td><td>Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9+<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Galaxy Note 1 (T-Mobile, International)<\/td><td>Galaxy S10, S10+, S10e, S10 5G, S10 Lite<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Galaxy Note 2 (Sprint, International)<\/td><td>Galaxy S20, S20+, S20 Ultra, S20 FE<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>Galaxy S21, S21+, S21 Ultra, S21 FE<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>Galaxy S22, S22+, S22 Ultra<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>Galaxy Note 3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>Galaxy Note 4, Note Edge<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>Galaxy Note 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>Galaxy Note 7 Fan Edition<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>Galaxy Note 8<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>Galaxy Note 9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>Galaxy Note 10, Note 10+, Note 10 Lite<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>Galaxy Note 20, Note 20 Ultra<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Google-Pixel-compatibility-in-2023\"><\/span>Google Pixel compatibility in 2023<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every single Google Pixel phone supports 4G LTE.

If you\u2019re currently using an older device, now\u2019s the perfect time to upgrade and preserve your network access. Our best recommendation is to get an <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/iphones\">unlocked iPhone<\/a>, an <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/unlocked\/samsung\">unlocked Samsung phone<\/a>, or an <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/unlocked\/google\">unlocked Google Pixel<\/a> with broad network band compatibility. This lets you stay connected through the upcoming changes, and also gives you the freedom to jump between wireless carriers if you ever find a better deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">iPhone Upgrade Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although all US-sold iPhones from the iPhone 6 onward are compatible with the 4G LTE bands used in the US, we suggest going with an unlocked iPhone 11, an unlocked iPhone SE 2020, or something newer. This will get you a relatively modern iPhone with a fast processor, great software features, and access to the very latest iOS 16 software update. And, getting something newer means it should last for longer into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-xs-6 col-sm-3\" align=\"left\"><div class=\"cell_product search\" data-alc=\"303\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-se-2nd-gen\" class=\"image\" title=\"Apple iPhone SE 2nd Gen 2020\" aria-label=\"Product Apple iPhone SE 2nd Gen 2020\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.swappa.com\/images\/cache\/7a\/92\/7a925e338d652b415990dd6bf3f4d57b.png\" class=\"img-responsive img-responsive\" alt=\"Apple iPhone SE 2nd Gen 2020\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-se-2nd-gen\" class=\"title\" aria-label=\"Apple iPhone SE 2nd Gen 2020\">Apple iPhone SE 2nd Gen 2020<\/a><div class=\"cell_footer clearfix\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-se-2nd-gen\" class=\"price\">$<span>154<\/span>+<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-xs-6 col-sm-3\" align=\"left\"><div class=\"cell_product search\" data-alc=\"303\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-se-3rd-gen-2022\" class=\"image\" title=\"Apple iPhone SE 3rd Gen 2022\" aria-label=\"Product Apple iPhone SE 3rd Gen 2022\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.swappa.com\/images\/cache\/d3\/0d\/d30ddce81b68667c695dbeca1068850d.png\" class=\"img-responsive img-responsive\" alt=\"Apple iPhone SE 3rd Gen 2022\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-se-3rd-gen-2022\" class=\"title\" aria-label=\"Apple iPhone SE 3rd Gen 2022\">Apple iPhone SE 3rd Gen 2022<\/a><div class=\"cell_footer clearfix\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-se-3rd-gen-2022\" class=\"price\">$<span>175<\/span>+<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-xs-6 col-sm-3\" align=\"left\"><div class=\"cell_product search\" data-alc=\"303\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-11\" class=\"image\" title=\"Apple iPhone 11\" aria-label=\"Product Apple iPhone 11\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.swappa.com\/images\/cache\/a2\/e0\/a2e0a0e3cae64c4d6b198eb9a2c46c8a.png\" class=\"img-responsive img-responsive\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 11\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-11\" class=\"title\" aria-label=\"Apple iPhone 11\">Apple iPhone 11<\/a><div class=\"cell_footer clearfix\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-11\" class=\"price\">$<span>279<\/span>+<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-xs-6 col-sm-3\" align=\"left\"><div class=\"cell_product search\" data-alc=\"303\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-12\" class=\"image\" title=\"Apple iPhone 12\" aria-label=\"Product Apple iPhone 12\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.swappa.com\/images\/cache\/e7\/e6\/e7e650bed4c3d5152f7905391331fa94.png\" class=\"img-responsive img-responsive\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-12\" class=\"title\" aria-label=\"Apple iPhone 12\">Apple iPhone 12<\/a><div class=\"cell_footer clearfix\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-12\" class=\"price\">$<span>412<\/span>+<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Android Upgrade Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Things are pretty simple for Android buyers as well. Samsung has offered broad 4G network support on most phones since the Galaxy S5. However, we suggest going a bit newer and getting something like an unlocked Galaxy S10 or unlocked Pixel 4 instead.
