T-Mobile’s 2G network is shutting down next month | Infinium-tech
T-Mobile has been the last 2G holdout in the US, keeping its legacy network running despite AT&T shutting down 2G service in 2017 and Verizon and Sprint a few years later.
Now it’s finally (almost) T-Mobile’s turn. The carrier has started sending emails to affected users informing them that the shutdown of the 2G network will begin on February 9.
It’s unclear how long it will take for the entire 2G network to shut down completely from that point, but it’s coming. So if for some reason you still have a 2G device on T-Mobile, you should switch — and the carrier is offering you a “free 5G replacement device” without explaining what it’s talking about. .
All you have to do is go to any T-Mobile store with your 2G device in any condition, and you’ll get a replacement. At least that’s what the message TMO is sending to its affected customers means, we don’t know if there is any warning.
