Verizon to Shutter 3G Network by End of 2022

Verizon said Tuesday it will shutter its 3G CDMA network at the end of next year. Verizon noted it has said it would shut the network down since 2016, with an original target of 2019. “We worked for the past several years to help those who still have 3G devices transfer to devices capable of accessing the 4G LTE or 5G networks and continue to actively work with remaining 3G customers to migrate them to new devices and technology,” the carrier said: Fewer than 1% of its customers use 3G.
