4G LTE is a newer type of mobile phone service that uses more bandwidth than previous generations of phone service. Some 3G phones may not be able to use 4G LTE because the phone’s hardware does not support the technology. If you have a 3G phone and want to upgrade to a 4G LTE phone, you may be able to do so by purchasing a new phone or by using a mobile phone service that supports 4G LTE. If you have a 4G LTE phone and want to use it with a 3G phone, you may need to buy a new 3G phone or use a mobile phone service that supports 4G LTE and 3G.
First things first
Most newer phones are equipped with 4G LTE capabilities. If you have a phone that is not LTE-enabled, you can still use LTE if you have a 3G or 4G compatible SIM card. Some devices, like the iPhone, come with a 4G LTE SIM card pre-installed.
When 3g Ends Will 4g Still Work
When 3G ends, so does the ability to use 3G cell phones. However, some older 4G phones that do not support HD Voice (VoLTE or Voice over LTE) ill also stop functioning. 5G, which is much faster, is currently in development and will replace 3G and 4G networks in the future. Once the 3G network is shut down, 3G cell phones will not work, but 5G cell phones will.
How Long Will 4g Phones Be Supported
Currently, 4G LTE devices use the same spectrum bands as 3G and 2G devices. In the future, when there are few 4G LTE devices in use, most if not all of the spectrum will be used for 5G. This is done through dynamic spectrum sharing, which means that the same spectrum band can be used for both 4G and 5G. This means that 5G will be able to reach much farther and faster than 4G LTE, which is currently the fastest form of mobile internet. It is estimated that in 15 to 20 years, most if not all of the spectrum will be used for 5G.
Is At&t Replacing 3g Phones for Free
We’ve been hearing rumors that AT&T is replacing 3G network-dependent devices for free for some time now, but we wanted to make sure this was actually happening. Turns out, it is – AT&T is providing free replacements for any device that is connected to their 3G network and is at least a year old. This includes phones, tablets, and even laptops.

We recommend that anyone who is eligible for a free replacement take advantage of this offer as soon as possible.

However, if your phone connection is lost, or you go out of range of the 4G/LTE network, then your iPhone 7 will switch to 3G service to continue using the internet.
Can a 3g Phone Work on a 5g Network
AT&T says that 3G and 5G networks use different frequencies, so a 3G phone can’t work on a 5G network. However, some 5G frequencies are also used by 3G networks, so a 3G phone can still work on a 5G network if it’s set up to use those frequencies.
