T-Mobile recently disclosed that it will turn off its 2G GSM network
on April 2, 2024. The move follows the operator's dismantling of its
3G networks, and Sprint's 3G and 4G networks, during 2022.

"Across the industry, wireless companies have retired older network
technologies as part of an important progression to ensure all
customers can enjoy a more advanced 4G and 5G network," T-Mobile
explained on its website. "Moving customers who are on old networks
onto modern, advanced high-speed networks means they will need to have
phones and devices that can tap into the latest technologies."
