Verizon Has Started Phasing 3G spectrum to LTE

The phase out of 3G networks in exchange for a 4G LTE capabilities has now started, some are now occurring in Manhattan, according to reports. 

Verizon Wireless is has started working to change 3G networks to a 4G LTE network that will improve services and will be faster and more reliable. The initial switch happened in Manhattan in New York City as reported on Digital Trends. They had also removed some 3G frequencies in Manhattan, and then turn them back on this time using LTE signals. This is still work-in progress and would need some time to complete.

Verizon is aiming to have the entire infrastructure based on 4G LTE service for its customers. They are the largest wireless carrier in the United States, followed by AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile.

If you are one of the low-tech people who uses old cell phones that uses Verizon’s 3G network, be warned that your  old phone days are numbered as they are slowly taking steps to shut the 3G network down.


The company called the transition from 3G to 4G LTE as “spectrum reframing”. Verizon official had confirmed that they are doing tests on 3G spectrum and 4G LTE but they insist that it will take a long time to shut down the 3G network. That is understandable since presently about 41% of Verizon’s mobile traffic still uses 2G or 3G.

Apple iMessage Outage

Apples iMessage went out and a lot of users have posted their frustration on social media networks like Twitter and Facebook. The Apple iMessage is available on both iOS and Mac, and the messages are not being sent at of the moment while on the iPhone they are being sent as text messages. So, you should still be able to receive text messages on your iPhone, just don’t expect to see them pop up on your Mac or iPad until this problem is fixed.

iMessage is Apple’s messaging client for iOS and Mac which allows what would normally be text messages to be sent through the service and for messages to show up on iPads and Macs.

Tech site "The Next Web" reported that users could not send iMessages via OS X and on the iPhone and the iMessages reverted to text messaging to send messages that failed to send. It also said that the problem did not seem related to the recent upgrade to iOS 8.1.1, as the site's test iPhones that could not use iMessages had updated to 8.1.1.
