I am ignorant and would like to know from you all.
Currently, my mobile company is h2o, but for the past few months, they have been telling me to upgrade my phone model because it will no longer be compatible with G5, and texting me pictures and prices of various models, but they are all $ 700 to $ 1.000+. All the affordable ones are OUT OF STOCK.
We are on SS, a pension from a company I worked for for 30 years, and some part-time translation income, so spending $ almost 1.000 for a cell phone is painful.
I am currently using an iPhone 6, but will I really not be able to talk or text as h2o says ？
Please refrain from commenting on the poor or don't be stingy and buy one.

You work part time as a translator and your English is not good enough
I want everyone to buy a 5G phone ？ （ lol ）
just because your phone is not 5G doesn't mean you can't use it
this is before you are poor or stingy use some common sense Let's think about it.

If you only have a company pension and some translated part-time income,
you are well off as you are now
you don't need to buy the latest model model model.

I googled and found out that the iPhone6 is so old that Apple doesn't update the software anymore
5G doesn't matter
Maybe you can use the iPhone6 in 2022, but don't update the security or something.
Maybe not only h2o but at&t everything is bad
In windows, vista is not unusable but it's super slow and no system updates, so no compensation.

Why do people pay so much money for iPHONE
It's an electronic product, anything up-to-date is better
With android devices, you can change every 3 years to the latest device almost for free.

I see what you mean ？
I'll look for a deal that gives me a new model if I sign a 2 year contract or something.

I am using boost mobile with iPhoneSE 1st generetion prepaid, and the other day I got a text telling me to go to my local boost mobile as soon as possible to exchange my SD card for free because the 3G you are using now will not work ､ SD card. I got the SD card replaced.　I think iPhone6 is very old model, so it might be inconvenient if I don't change the model soon.
Since iPhoneSE also came out after iPhone6 S, I'm thinking of changing my phone soon. I don't have that kind of money to spare, but I still prefer iPhone, so I'm not willing to pay some money there.　？
By the way, iPhone can be traded for an older model and a newer model can be bought at a slightly lower price, but iPhone 6 will not be able to be traded at a very high price.　If you don't want to pay a lot of money, get a cheaper Android or a non-iPhone phone.　You can't use an old model forever. iOS is constantly being upgraded, so if you keep an old model, it will no longer be compatible with the new model, so it's only natural that you won't be able to use it anymore.
I don't think anyone is using iPhone 4 or 5 now. I think 6 will disappear soon. Right now it's iPhone13.

I agree with everyone else, the iPhone 6 is too old, and should be put in mothballs. Also, I don't think there will be any more Trade-In offers from companies.

Also, if you don't care about iOS ・ Android hardware is cheaper. If you only need Talk and Data, the cheapest model from each company is recommended. Also, recently, mobile communication companies seem to have stopped selling off their hardware models and have decided to only lease them, which means that the overall cost is very high. I am all about Android, but I started to buy hardware directly from Samsung US 4 or 5 years ago. Of course, the models are different for each telecommunication company. Before 5G, there was a Plain Vanilla model that cost $199.

Assuming you use your phone for part-time translation work, you can write it off as an expense on your tax return.

If you use icloud to store your photos, it doesn't matter if you change the model on your iPhone ！ Another way is to store your photos once on your computer. Then just transfer the photos to the new model.

The message from H2O is to inform you that AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon will all be phasing out 2G and 3G service beginning in FY2022. Older phones that do not support "VoLTE" will no longer be able to use voice and text, even if they work with 4GLTE. Since you are using iphone6, and iphone6 supports VoLTE, you can use it as it is. Please refer to the following URL for how to set up.
https://www.iphonehacks.com/2014/09/enable-volte-iphone-6-plus.html
In addition, the first generation iphoneSE supports VoLTE as well. H2O supports VoLTE as mentioned in the message, so it should be no problem. Please check your network's website to see if your network supports VoLTE.
