I'm still getting the warnings from my mobile carrier:

433-391  11/04/21 5:56 PM
Lucky msg: As of Jan. 4 2022, BlackBerry will be ending support
for select phones. Talk (incl. 9-1-1), text & data will no
longer be reliable. Because your services will remain active
but your BlackBerry phone won't, your monthly payments may
continue. Visit a Lucky Mobile retail partner to stay connected
with a new device. Info: luckym.ca/blackberry ( luckym.ca/
msgprefs )

And.. I assume I will be getting another around 11/26/21, and  
ever 11 days after that.

I am skeptical that they can dismiss the use of 9-1-1 since it  
is a legal requirement to allow it even on phones with no  
official mobile carrier.

However.. it would be nice if by some magical means, I *did*  
receive another phone that I can be confident will work as  
designed.
