Last Chance: T-Mobile’s 2G Network Goes Dark Next Month – What You Need to Know

T-Mobile’s 2G Network is Shutting Down: What You Need to Know
The Last Holdout
For years, T-Mobile has been the only major carrier in the US still maintaining its 2G network, a relic of the past in an era of 4G and 5G. This is despite AT&T shutting down its 2G service back in 2017, followed by Verizon and Sprint a few years later.
The Countdown Begins
The good news is that the wait is finally over. T-Mobile has started sending out emails to affected users, informing them that the shutdown of the 2G network will begin on February 9. But how long will it take for the entire network to be fully shut off? Unfortunately, the exact timeline is still unclear.
A “Free” 5G Upgrade
If you’re still clinging to a 2G device on T-Mobile, it’s time to switch. And, as an incentive, the carrier is offering a “free” 5G replacement device (although they haven’t specified which one). All you need to do is head to any T-Mobile store with your 2G device, regardless of its condition, and you’ll get the upgrade.
The Fine Print
While T-Mobile’s message is straightforward, it’s unclear whether there are any caveats to this offer. We’re waiting for more information to emerge. In the meantime, if you’re still rocking a 2G device on T-Mobile, it’s time to upgrade and join the 21st century.
