So anyhow, since 3g service has been terminated in my area, I've kept my <br>
old phone because it's still fairly useful as a wifi device. Can't do <br>
voice talk or SMS any more since I transferred my phone number, but it <br>
still does everything else.<br>
<br>
Thing is, sometimes when I'm walking around, it thinks it sees 3g <br>
service. And I airplane-mode the thing and stick it back in my pocket.<br>
<br>
There are exactly zero carriers in this area who still provide 3g service.<br>
<br>
Are these obsolete stingrays? Scammers fishing for people who still <br>
have old phones and now can't get legit service? Or something else?<br>
