Not just that.  Around here, Verizon is not allowing the reactivation of older
devices. I broke my Galaxy S5 a few weeks ago but thought, 'no problem!' I'll
just go back to my S7 Edge. Well, they refused to activate stating that my SIM
card is not compatible with their network. *BULLSHIT* It was on their network
just three or so years ago, but it's a piece of shit so I reverted back to my
S5.  Anyway, after several attempts, I finally found someone who was willing
to tell me the truth. Verizon is forcing their users to upgrade to the 5G
network. Even my bride is having issues now with her S9 and they won't help
her out.

Honestly, If I could, I would love to go back to my Motorola StarTak or my
Blackberry Pearl. I hardly use internet on my phone so Why TF would I want to
spend hundreds of $$ on a pocket computer just to make phone calls and take a
few pictures?
