Yeah, I got that second text. But the funny thing is, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8, which is absolutely supported. Here is the whitelist [PDF] https://www.att.com/idpassets/images/support/wireless/Device... I contacted AT&T support via chat and they did some debugging. The last thing they had left to try was swapping out the SIM card. So they dropped one in the mail, but if this doesn't work it will be because AT&T can't even get it right on the few phones they say are supported. https://twitter.com/sep332/status/1415087312090931212

#3A few weeks ago I moved my sim from a broken LG V20 to a Oneplus 3t and att suspended my account. I wasn't sent a message or any kind of notification. My sim just stopped working.
I had to call att support for 30+ minutes to find out that it was because the 3t doesn't support volte and get my account reactivated.
The way att has been handling this transition has been really shitty.
VOLTE is a banned subject on the lineageos subreddit because support for it is so spotty and hw manufacturers and carriers don't release the information to rom devs that they need to support it.

#4VoLTE is so damn frustrating. LTE works via plug and play with any phone that supports the correct bands, but VoLTE doesn't. I have a Sony Xperia phone here in Canada and it's just not possible to use it on VoLTE without rooting to install specific provisioning files and whatnot.
And that's not even counting how you can't just go from country to country without changing firmware.
I've always used a local SIM whenever I go on a trip to another country. But with VoLTE, you're incentized to roam with the carrier that has whitelisted and provisioned your phone, because your phone will be fed that home VoLTE provisioning information when roaming.
There's the irony: I can VoLTE call with a Verizon SIM roaming on Bell, but not with a Bell Canada SIM on its own network.

#5The 3G network in NL is also gone (except for kpn, which will keep it for 1 more year)

#6I would have ignored the text because it looks like spam. How can you be that stupid and still exist as a company?

#7I feel really bad that I just wasted time reading this asinine complaint.

Someone else had all of their outgoing calls redirected to AT&T customer service. https://twitter.com/mcclure111/status/1415078945989566469

#9BMW recently sent out an email of impending loss of 3G connectivity.
> The decision to phase out 3G network technology was made at the discretion of the respective cellular carriers and lies beyond the control of BMW. As a result of the sunset of 3G service by wireless carrier partners, by February 2022 your vehicle will no longer be able to receive any ConnectedDrive/BMW Assist services, such as BMW Assist eCall, Advanced Real‑Time Traffic Information, Remote Services and BMW Online, depending on your BMW model.

Old Teslas (like 5+ years) will lose net when 3g goes. You can do a computer upgrade but I don’t think it’s cheap ($500-$1500 range offhand)
