Pardon the "noob" acct, mobilenations wouldn't send refresh PW email...
After wiping (removing non-native apk's etc) my SQW100-1 resumed without hitch worked flawlessly over 2 yr, the only "apk" I needed was Telegram (mainly to port pix to the pC without the cable/hassle) - but, nobody'd said anything about BB10 OS EOL "ticker" last year...
It "just worked" and still does. Metro PCS, (t-mobile MVNO) shows the 4gLTE icon, 4 bars...
for now
From other posts I see "?? 2021" T-Mobile's dropping VoLTE support (Passport frequencies). The only clue will be 4gLTE icon turns "emergency calls" (?) guessing (?) 90 - 120 days ... fully aware carriers "just do" stuff, F* the end user...
Highly doubtful AT&T prepaid will "SIM' a Passport AND provision working VoLTE (i'd like to be wrong, but...)
Any other GSM prepaid SIM working? Most are Tracfone rebrand, (e.g. Simplemobile) VzW recently bought. Thoughts?
TAKE AWAY - for US victims, is the Passport "lights out" more about carrier carrier disconnect (?) than the 10.3.3 EOL date?
I get it. Took 2 years to save for the Passport, a God-Send it was...
"just grab" a refugee dumb-phone is at best 2 months out... Crossing fingers they'll at least give us that... WHAT gives carriers the notion a "new device" is like buyin' a McCheezBurger
None of my fotos, contacts, etc, go anyware but removable SD
Thanks in advance.
ANY heads up, prevent of hasty purchase error, deeply grateful in advance
