AT&T plans to shutter its 3G network by 22 February 2022, per this:

“When the 2G network was sunset, service providers announced a 4-year transition period. At the time, the alarm industry operated approximately 2.4 million cellular-based radios,” the group told the FCC in a filing earlier this month. With 3G, though, the industry is struggling to deal with even more devices in an even shorter timeframe.

Specifically, the group said around 2.4 million alarms connect to Verizon’s 3G network, while 3.6 million connect to AT&T’s 3G network. After several delays, Verizon has announced a 3G sunset of December 31, 2022, “which the alarm industry is fighting to meet,” according to AICC. But AT&T plans to shutter its own 3G network even earlier, by February 22, 2022.

If T-Mobile is the only carrier, the product is a no-go for me. NO T-Mobile coverage in my area; it would be totally useless to me.
