While the rest of the mobile phone world scrambles for the next best smartphone, AT&T has taken to improving the lower end of its phone offerings with the introduction of Pantech’s C610. The phone boasts a variety of features usually found in pricier phones, including GPS and a 3G radio, but will sell for only $29 with contract

Besides the flip phone’s location awareness and snappy Internet, it will include Bluetooth, a 1.3-megapixel camera, a microSD slot for media, and compatibility with a host of AT&T services, including Video Share, MobiRadio, and its streaming music services. The built-in media player will read MP3, AAC, WMA and MPEG4 files off of microSD cards.

Initially, AT&T will only offer the C610 in “metropolitan red” with chrome accents. The phone is available immediately through AT&T for $29 with a two-year contract.

The 3G shutdown could affect the most vulnerable of us

The looming shutdown of 3G networks could leave older adults without a critical communications lifeline.

All 3G devices will lose service by the end of the year due to a planned transition to newer technologies. Verizon said it would finish shutting down its 3G network by December 31. T-Mobile aims to shut down its 3G by March 31, and AT&T said it would shut down its network last month. Experts say that the 3G shutoff could mean seniors will suffer.

Google Pixel 6 can now tap into Verizon’s faster C-Band 5G

Verizon has finally flicked the switch that allows the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro to latch on to its C-Band 5G network. In January this year, Verizon and AT&T began the deployment of their respective 5G networks on the C-Band spectrum. However, the Pixel 6 series phones haven’t yet been able to take advantage of the faster C-Band 5G airwaves.

That’s because both the phones come equipped with the necessary networking hardware to support the C-Band spectrum, but they hadn’t received an official certification yet. Verizon’s George Koroneos has now shared on Twitter that both the phones have passed the certification hurdle. And starting today, the carrier has started rolling out a firmware update for the Pixel 6 duo that enables C-Band 5G support on Google’s flagships.
Faster and more feature-rich
The software update (version SP2A.220305.013.A3) arrives with the delayed March security patch for the Pixel 6 series phones in tow. The update also brings some new Pixel features to the Pixel 6 pair such as Night Sight in the Snap camera, Live Relay for captioning calls in real time, and a battery information widget, among others. For more details, check out the complete changelog for Pixel 6's March feature drop. Keep in mind that the C-Band 5G network will only be available to customers on an Unlimited plan with 5G Ultra Wideband in the list of perks.

Ookla speed tests show 5G C-band is already changing the game

New data from Ookla gives us a good look at exactly why Verizon and AT&T were in such a hurry to roll out their new C-band 5G spectrum.

It hasn’t even been two weeks since both carriers forged ahead in rolling out the new midband 5G frequencies, and Ookla already sees noticeable increases in 5G speeds across the country. These speed jumps have the potential to unseat T-Mobile as the front-runner in the 5G race.
