Is my cell booster going to work next year?

[Vern_in_IL]

The booster is a Wilson 3g unit.

Will I still have 3g voice using my Iphone SE "4g" phone? (it is backwards compatible with 3g)

I use 4g when I got it, but in my home I got no signal and the 3g booster has been working great so far.

I do not get 4g indoors, but I thought, I read that 3g voice will still work, just the data will not. A new 4g cell booster is like a weeks pay, PITA.

It depends on which frequency band(s) are supported by the booster, not the type of modulation.

What carrier do you have?

Why not get wifi calling?

because I take calls everywhere. Not just at home.

Hmmm....
I never thought of this yet. I have the same Wilson WeBoost as you.

I don't see our rural 3G tower going away anytime soon, though

Verizon says they will shut down all 3g sometime in dec of this year.

OK, I am on AT&T so maybe I still have a little time...

I have a dual band Wilson I get 4G when the weather is good! My dog is laying on me, I'll look at the model when I can get up...

Mine was $530.00 out the door 6 years ago,

eta; Mine says; DB Pro, it has 800Mhz and 1900Mhz

3g will be "sunset" by ATT on Feb of 2022.

As long as it supports the bands Verizon uses for 4G, you'll be fine.

VZW is beinf aggressive with their 3G sunset, they use CDMA EV-DO for their 3G unlike WCDMA used by AT&T and T-Mobile. Sprint also uses EV-DO for 3G. AT&T and T-Mobile's Faux-G is really a later revision of the WCDMA standard.
