4G or 5G dongle hotspot with a battery. So far I think that is the only solution to get cellular data connection and calls through that.

Is that possible? I can connect to wifi produced by a 5G hotspot, but it doesn't get me a phone connection. I don't know about any app that'd works on the N900 that would receive calls to my phone number either.

I was thinking using Leste on N900. With that I think you will get calls with telegram and such. I'm hoping that now when 3G networks are dropped around someone will figure out a workaround soon.

I tried telegram desktop on Leste about a year ago. But I didn't first do any audio fixes so when it connected the call my friend just heard like a fax machine from my end. I believe someone from the Leste team could have tried it.

I ordered a "Nokia" 6300 4G (maybe I'll change my mind and get a Pine Phone...) so I can still use a cell service and I won't be carrying the N900 around with me every day, now.
I'll try to get Leste working on it in the fall...if...I can get the usb socket fixed so I can flash it from a laptop.

Well, it seems that I got some bad info. from the T-Mobile customer service agents. My N900's been working on their network since they shut down 3G. I keep selecting the T-Mobile 2G network and the N900 shows 2.5G in the status bar. I guess I'll keep using the N900 through the fall. I'll be returning the "Nokia" 6300 4G I bought.

All times are GMT. The time now is 15:26.
Now that T-Mobile and the other U.S. based cell phone service providers ae dropping support for 3G I might have to stop using it.
I've been getting messages from T-Mobile for weeks that say my phone (as designated by the IMEI number) will no longer work on their network.
I'd rather not get a new phone. Anyone have a work around?
