I’m too lazy to link the video hugh Jefferies made, but it explains all this. The 3G shutdown will also affect a lot of 4G phones, because 4G just uses 3G for calls and VoLTE was introduced later. There’s also stuff like fall detectors which automatically call emergency services if the user has a fall. The govt should make carriers give them a new phone, not money. The carriers could then send them something in the mail because of people in remote areas who would have to drive far for a new phone. Or, just keep 3G and when LTE is obsolete you can remove it because 3G will still be up.
