we have viewed utility support for older Android and iPhones being withdrawn however none of them lose the means to make calls or do primary phone stuff. not the case with Blackberry telephones, though. You may well be able to make calls, or send texts but the company itself doe no longer assure no matter if it's going to work as it used to up to now. 

"As a reminder, the legacy services for BlackBerry 7.1 OS and earlier, BlackBerry 10 application, BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.1 and previous models, will no longer be obtainable after January 4, 2022.

if your eyes have long gone all teary in your Blackberry's forthcoming dying, wipe them off and hope the revival by way of OnwardMobility shapes up nicely. In 2020, Texas' OnwardMobility announced it would revive the Blackberry name for its QWERTY keypad smartphones working on Android and assisting 5G networks. 

OnwardMobility hasn't shared anything due to the fact that then and with the chip shortage condition prevailing, we doubt no matter if a revival is coming every time soon.
