I heard the old cell phones ("3G") will no longer work effective January 1st. Would anyone know how to identify if an old phone is 3G? Would anyone know if they in fact will be no longer usable, and if so, are carriers doing anything about it (like offering a free decent upgrade)? Thanks! [public replies, please] ***** Moderator's Note ***** I hope not: I got my phone as a gift from my sister-in-law, who upgraded. I think it's "4G," but up here in the North Carolina hills we're lucky to get 0G!

Hawaii District Court Declines to Enforce Arbitration Clause Against Non-Party Debt Collector By Brent Owen For nearly a century, federal law has favored arbitration where the parties agree to it. This rule typically extends to a "nonsignatory" who does not sign the contract but who seeks the benefit of the contractual bargain. However, a recent decision from the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii continues a troubling trend excluding certain TCPA cases from that general rule. https://tcpaworld.com/2020/09/09/despite-agreement-no-arbitration-hawaii-district-court-declines-to-enforce-arbitration-clause-against-non-party-debt-collector/ -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <MWHPR05MB33901A11B9C75EDB50BEC9EDE5270@MWHPR05MB3390.namprd05.prod.outlook.com> Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2020 22:34:52 -0400 From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: New analysis deems AT&T 5G "essentially worthless," crowns Verizon as Dallas' best carrier Verizon showed more robust download speeds in Dallas-based AT&T's own backyard, but 5G still isn't worth the hype yet, according to PCMag. ByDom DiFurio Almost a year after rolling out 5G, AT&T and other major carriers' mobile network speeds don't quite live up to the hype - yet.
