2G is deprecated so a lot of the newer phones won’t even support that..?

• sidewndr46 3y ago
  I can't even turn off 2G on my relatively new Samsung handset, so I find it hard to believe it is "deprecated". There are likely zero 2G towers in my area, but that doesn't mean handset suppliers don't ship it still.

    As long as there are countries with GSM service, it's not going to stop being shipped.

    On an Android smartphone you can disable it usually, via *#*#4636#*#* There's a frontend for this on F-Droid if you prefer that [1] [1] https://f-droid.org/en/packages/pl.lebihan.network/ https://f-droid.org/en/packages/pl.lebihan.network/

      This doesn't work on Samsung phones

  Not really no. Newer phones absolutely support 2G.
