Really? What about roaming travelers? Are they going to cut them all off? Here in Europe all Samsung phones are Exynos. Weird.

- Causality1 5y agoAs far as I can tell, yes. They're dropping their 3G network and anything not on their VoLTE whitelist will no longer be usable. https://www.att.com/idpassets/images/support/wireless/Devices-Working-on-ATT-Network.pdf https://www.att.com/idpassets/images/support/wireless/Device...
- GekkePrutser 5y agoAh but that's only for voice calls, right? Would it still be possible to connect for data? I personally hardly use regular voice anymore. Some months I have 2 to 3 minutes, most of my calls are over WhatsApp or Teams :) I don't think I've had more than 10 minutes on my bill for years. Also, 5G is coming and I hope they finally standardised the voice part well enough and don't make the same mistake as VoLTE. However I haven't really looked into that.
- Causality1 5y agoIf it's not on the whitelist the network will refuse to activate the SIM at all.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoHmm that's bad for roaming. At least there's more networks and as a roamer you're not bound to a specific network. But it does raise a problem once more networks start doing this.
