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

By: Ryan Gibbons


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. 

A sleek, modern, and portable payment device, the Payanywhere Smart Terminal features everything modern merchants are looking for. 

  • 5” HD touchscreen with Android software.
  • 4G and wifi connectivity.
  • Front and back cameras for barcode scanning.
  • Emailable, textable, or printable receipts. 
  • Lightning-fast processing speeds. 

Accept traditional magstripe, EMV chip card, and NFC contactless payments anywhere, at any time. All while simplifying your employee, customer, and inventory management with our Payanywhere app and access to Payments Hub, our secure online portal featuring a Virtual Terminal, real-time transactional data, invoicing with recurring billing, and more. 

PIN pad user? We have multiple options to choose from so you can continue to enjoy the convenience of having both customer- and merchant-facing terminals. Either way, we’ll help you avoid payment processing disruptions when the 3G networks are officially shut down and terminals are phased out.
