How is it possible to use my old smartphone? Your smartphone is essentially a miniature supercomputer running either iOS or AnroidOS. Just like a computer, your smartphone can access any wifi network and perform functions like surfing the web, downloading apps and making video calls. In the case of a smartphone being retired because it can't access your 3G celluar network, it just means you can't access the web or make phone calls on your providers' network.
