9. I did just find this out about AT&T

As of January 19, 2021, AT&T no longer activates new SIM card with the phone that don’t support 4G HD Voice since they won’t be compatible on AT&T network when 3G shuts down by February 2022.

3G unlocked phones will still works with Activated At&T prepaid SIM Card for this time before February 2022.

The bumpy syntax is because I copied this from a phone description page.

Looks like I need to educate meself a bit about phones.
