An alarm-industry lobbying group told The Associated Press that it estimates 1.5 million customers still need to upgrade their fire or burglar alarms. Some companies, like My Alarm Center, have been messaging customers to alert them to replace their units, and have warnings posted on their website. Many home security companies have been preparing for the last two years, migrating existing customers over to 4G, CNN reported. The home-alarm industry has asked the FCC to delay AT&T’s 3G shutdown until December, citing recent pandemic-related problems with the switch, such as supply chain delays and people hesitant to let technicians into their home, The Associated Press reported. The 3G shutdown will impact more than just phones, however, and businesses are reminding customers that along with phones, cars and home security devices may also lose connectivity. AT&T told The Associated Press that it had reached out to offer impacted customers free replacements for devices via letters, emails and texts, and that fewer than 1% of AT&T’s consumer devices will lose service.
If you have an older phone that is not compatible with 4G or 5G, the device will no longer work for calls or texting once the carrier’s 3G network shuts down. AT&T has said that all iPhones made prior to the iPhone 6 and some Galaxy models will no longer function after next week, while Verizon has said that the iPhone 5, 5C, 5S, Samsung Galaxy S4 and older models, and Apple’s iPad 2 will not work after the deadline, as we previously reported.
