Comment on Your 4G phone could be impacted by 3G shutdowns this year. Here's what to know

  The ones with 5G also cost a lot more.

  What is the “ones” that you are referring to?

  Are there plans that differenciate between 4g and 5g?

  Or do you mean phones, or towers/infrastructure?

  Because both the modems in phones and the infrastructure goes down as their production is scaled up. I don’t think there’s any new mainstream modem chipsets that don’t support 5g anymore.

    Yes, most of the pre-paid carriers I have checked have more expensive 5g plans. I am with aldi mobile which does.

    The plans with 5G will usually cost more.

    Cheapy plans/providers are usually 4G only.
