I assume you are talking about on island?? Somehow I doubt that. I actually have not heard that with regard to service in the US either. Where did you hear this?

T Mobil with 4G will no longer work within a week. Verizon has until Dec 31. So update to 5G Where did you get that information? I don't think your dates are 100% accurate with regard to the 4G thing. Can you provide a link?

National news is then because I only panicked and thought I'd post it here incase someone using T Mobil was going to SXM next week and found their phone not working before going or upon return. Eric Hill's link is from 2021 and so I don't know if the national news was posting an update. I apologize for trying to help!

If you have an old 3G phone you will have to upgrade. If you have a 4G LTE phone it will continue to have service for another decade. If you haven't heard from your phone service that your phone will be kaput then it won't be... . What cell phones will not work in 2022?
Some tracfones, flip phones, Jitterbugs and even older-style smartphones will no longer be able to make calls once the networks are taken down. Most of these phones, which are sometimes called “third generation” phones were launched nearly 20 years ago and will no longer work with most of the carriers in 2022 Article from last year... https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/09/30/3g-networks-ending/
