Hear me out. This may sound weird, but it must be possible. There are a lot of folks out there who own and love older tech, especially quad-band 2g cell phones. But it's becoming increasingly hard to connect in the US.
T-Mobile is still broadcasting a 2g signal, but doesn't like to let new customers latch on. You may get a few minutes or hours of service / connectivity, but you'll likely get kicked off soon.
Would it be possible to construct a very small, portable 2g transmitter that would synch with a dumbphone's SIM card and allow the phone to make and receive calls? Probably only within a range of a few feet, but still.
