2G is dead in most places

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

It still exists, just not for us consumers. How else they gonna force us to use the newer networks that cost so much to build.

2G is now available only to commercial entities using it for data connections for remote reporting stuff. Oil fields still use it for SCADA reporting, for example.
