NEW YORK -- You soon won't be able to use that old BlackBerry phone sitting at the bottom of your drawer somewhere.
The company originally announced the news in September 2020 as part of its efforts to focus on providing security software and services to enterprises and governments around the world under the name BlackBerry Limited.

At its peak in 2012, BlackBerry had more than 80 million active users.
