   I heard the old cell phones ("3G") will no longer work effective   
   January 1st.   
      
   Would anyone know how to identify if an old phone is 3G?   
      
   Would anyone know if they in fact will be no longer usable, and if so,   
   are carriers doing anything about it (like offering a free decent   
   upgrade)?   
      
   Thanks!

   I hope not: I got my phone as a gift from my sister-in-law, who   
   upgraded. I /think/ it's "4G," but up here in the North Carolina hills   
   we're lucky to get 0G!
