    Nothing when 3G is shutoff in your area. The Q10 doesn't support VoLTE and even if was supported AT&T doesn't support the devices anyway.

    No you need 3g for voice calls but it's when they turn off the 3G which the previous poster mentioned
    At&t sent.you a notice of shutdown not when all of it is shutdown no one can say

    Lte doesn't matter if your phone doesn't support volte once 3g is turned off
    Your Lte only supports data
    Where volte replaces your 3g calling
    If you want to be stuck without phone calls when they do shut it down in your area it's at your own risk since carriers do a staggered shutdown

    They are only promising support upto that date
    Anything past well that's what your new phone is for

    So you aren't caught in the dark when the switch is flipped

    Are you sure you want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere and find out it no longer has 3g service in that area or At&t shuts it all down during an important business call

    They are only promising you service till end of Feb that's it and sent you a device to use for your service you cant use a eol phone if it's cut off
    Not saying it's right now but don't be surprised when they do. Bbry already gave you that warning with the end of support in jan
    I'f you choose to use the q10 past the support period it's at your own risk

    I'm confused with your question then. Your bands support LTE for data just you have no 3G phone calls. The BlackBerry shutdown was separate issue from 3G shutdown just coincidentally at same time.

    Use your free phone to get used to the Android interface while you have a little time.

    I had to go all in from Passport to Priv back in the day and it wasn't fun.

    CSR likely doesn't have a complete schedule of every towers transition schedule...

    You call them... they might make a point of kicking you off.
