Came across the following article from RFD about Ztar Mobile vs. Rogers regarding the impending 3G shutoff: https://www.iphoneincanada.ca/2025/06/18/crtc-asked-to-stop-rogers-from-cutting-off-ztar-mobile/

Should we worry? There's only a month left and there appears to be a big dispute between Ztar Mobile, parent company of Speakout, and Rogers. Speakout needs to inform users what will happen for those still using older phones. Looks like Rogers is arguing that Ztar has an outstanding debt and that they do not have an agreement moving forward to use their mobile network.

Thanks for posting this.
I don't know what to think about the outcome of the dispute.
With previous network upgrades I've already had an older phone bricked a couple of years ago - not looking forward to having to buy a new phone again

I'm surprised not many people are talking about this. Ztar is being highly irresponsible here.

Here's another thread from RFD discussing Speakout and 3G: https://forums.redflagdeals.com/will-speakout-still-work-2025-no-3g-2725043/

One of the posters recommends porting out of Speakout soon before the impending July 31 deadline.
