TL;DR: Phones starting in February 2022 without 4G LTE and HD Voice will no longer work. AT&T poorly communicated this, and even customers of devices such as the Samsung S10e (still listed on Samsung's website with AT&T support[1]) are being contacted with this email even though it's on their "supported" device list [2].
There has also been an updated article outlining the confusion: https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/07/22/no-your-phone-is-no...

Of course iphones just work.
