T-Cellular will shutter its 2G GSM community on April 2, 2024, in accordance with its webpage on transitioning away from older community spectrum to concentrate on its present 4G LTE and increasing 5G networks. On the finish of March 2022, T-Cellular had sunsetted the 3G CDMA community it acquired in its merger with Dash, after which later in July it shut down its personal 3G UMTS community.

It is not clear why T-Cellular has left its 2G community up for thus lengthy. Different carriers shut down their very own 2G networks years in the past. AT&T discontinued its 2G service on the primary day of 2017, and Verizon reportedly shut down its 2G community in 2020.
