3 g ending when? What happens to my 3g phone?

[lapazleo]

What happens to my 3g phone when 3g ends? I only talk and text and don't like any of the 4g basic phones available from verizon. I will never buy a smart phone as I don't need or want one. What are my options?

In order to continue service you will have to purchase one of the new flip phones or bar phones. You are not required to have a smart phone but you do have to have a phone that is capable of voice calls over LTE.

if your current phone is one of the QWERTY basic phones, those are no longer made, haven’t been since 2014.  You don’t have any choice, there is nothing like it that will fit in a pocket
