@Sunshine-754 It might help if you give a little more context to your question.

Edit: if it's the Manitoba issue as shown by @JK8 follow the link.

Spring arrives shortly thereafter, the plants and grass start to grow, and your username feels so much warmer on our masked faces.

EDIT: Oh, and some users in Manitoba may get a time-out from using their devices to enjoy said "Sunshine"...

@Sunshine-754 Telus is shutting down parts of its 3G network in Brandon/Winnipeg. As many old phones, and all current PM/Koodo prepaid accounts, can only access calling on 3G service will become spotty.
Currently, the only suggestion from Telus is to move to their post paid service. 😩
This change also impacts Bell.
Long term all carriers will close 3G, just as CDMA & 2G have been, and we will all use VoLTE for calling /texting.
