The move marks Verizon's latest effort to resolve any outstanding issues ahead of shutting down its aging 3G network. Instead, they're Star Trek-like flip phones, including the Orbic Journey V, TCL Flip Pro and Nokia 2720 V Flip. The new phones, though, aren't like the typical gifts Verizon uses to entice customers, like a free iPhone 13 or Samsung Galaxy S22. Now, Verizon says, it'll start sending free 4G-capable phones to those affected customers. But the carrier's move did mean the relatively few people who still rely on older phones only capable of 3G signals would be left in the dark come New Year's Eve. Verizon's plan to shut down its 3G network at the end of this year wasn't a surprise to most people, who by now are largely using phones powered by 4G or 5G technology.
