T Mobile just stated, Comrade "Turn in your dependable Flip phone or go phone less" for a fragile 5G Model. You must comply so you can be user friendly for the illegal aliens in China and the Border. Do not resist as you will be assimilated anyway. Uncle Joe said so. Sonny boy Biden made the deal so live with it and smile. 5G Smartphones | Get it at Verizon 5G flaws let attackers track locations, spoof emergency alerts – TechCrunch All true or just some? HK!
How long will CDMA be Around? CDMA-based time servers acquire a UTC time sync from CDMA base station signal broadcasts. CDMA service in the United States is currently provided by T-Mobile (via Sprint merger) and Verizon. The Verizon signal is acquired via the North American Cellular (NAC) channel set and T-Mobile via the North American PCS (NAP) channel set. If a CDMA base station is operational for phone service or M2M communications, it will broadcast the signals that are needed by our time servers. T-Mobile has not publicly announced a sunset date for the Sprint CDMA 3G network. They have, however, messaged to some T-Mobile for Business customers that they intend to sunset Sprint CDMA 3G service on or around January 1, 2022. Verizon announced in March 2021 that the sunset date for CDMA service was extended for the last time to December 31, 2022. CDMA service could degrade or become unavailable in some areas before the respective sunset dates as both providers focus on moving customers to their 4G and 5G networks and repurpose spectrum. Therefore EndRun advises customers that are currently operating CDMA time servers to start planning now to transition to a GPS based network time server. Alternatively, configuring time servers to operate as a Stratum 2 NTP server may be an option.
