I found one in the back of a drawer a few weeks ago, it turned on straight away. I didn’t have the right size SIM card to try and use it fully sadly.
Come the apocalypse there will just be cockroaches and old Nokias.
You cold dredge one up from the bottom of the ocean and it would still pick up a signal.
If a signal exists. Those blazing fast 2g towers ain't super common nowadays
Don't forget the twinkies!
Wasn't it like 2g cellular?
Many operators around the word are ditching 3g but still keeping 2g.
It is main/backup connection in so many iot and older automation devices that it won't be going away anytime soon.
And yes, both my 2110 and 3310 I alternate in my cars glove compartment can still call emergency services number without sim card.
Even when they shut down 2G access it will probably just be commercial use but they'll keep it for emergency service. It still has excellent coverage and the infrastructure is more trouble to remove than it's worth.
I mean how many g's are strictly necessary
I mean as many gs as the network still strictly supports...
In the US we recently shut off the 3g network so, at least 4.
Yeah. It'd probably still have charge too.
