The 3G shutdown is coming. Will your payment device be rendered obsolete?

Written by Ryan on


AT&T and Verizon have already begun the process of shutting down their 3G networks. In addition,  the following payment devices, which are no longer receiving software updates or PCI compliance certification, will soon be rendered entirely obsolete.

  • Ingenico iCT220.
  • Ingenico iWL255.
  • Verifone Vx520.
  • Verifone Vx680 (3G).

If you use any of the payment devices listed above, contact NAB today. You could qualify for a free 4G terminal like our Payanywhere Smart Terminal or the Ingenico Desk/3500.
