Do/could SIM cards prevent this downgrade if 2G isn’t provided by your local provider anymore?
I know my Canadian SIM card somehow hides US providers from network scans, possibly with some geo or if/then rules (but visible from my EU SIM that tries its darnedest to latch onto the US networks and avoid the Canadian ones at all costs)

- smokelegend 3y agoAnd yet the outdated, unsecured 2G protocol/hardware still exists in 2023, is it really a question as to why it's still in operation. The way I see it, seems law enforcement agencies using stingrays have a vested interesting in seeing 2G alive and well.
