AT&T first announced that it was shutting down its 2G network about four years ago, and has kept in constant contact with partners and customers who were still relying on 2G radios for the minimal exchange of information for business infrastructure, recreational, IoT or M2M (machine to machine) purposes. AT&T called this period: “2G Sunset”, a chance for users to upgrade their equipment before 2G radios went dead.
The retirement of our 2G network – like our earlier retirement of the analog wireless network – is part of our 5G Evolution, which includes continued deployment of our 4G LTE and other technologies in the years to come.
If you find yourself with a legacy smartphone that only connects to 2G, T-Mobile had offered those who were using legacy 2G devices on ATT’s network a window of time where these customers could switch to T-Mobile’s 2G for free. Likewise, T-Mobile promised that its 2G network will be operational “through 2020”. A few years ago, T-Mobile repurposed its 1900MHz 2G spectrum to what is known today as Band 12 LTE. By contrast, Verizon’s 2G network is said to be shut down in 2019.
