Ok, one more thing. (Colombo voice) I have noticed on Reddit, that any time anyone asks an innocent question about 2g being usable in 2022, they are immediately piled on as though the just suggested something monstrous. Very few just take their question at face value and answer it. There's razzing, shaming, irritated-sounding demands to just go out and buy a 4g LTE phone, etc. Ok, but that's not what he's asking.

He's asking about 2g. All of the Google search results about this immediately pull up info about how 2g is bad, dangerous, stupid, and how everyone needs a new phone. Ok, but that's not what I'm asking, either.

This should not be a sensitive, political, or emotionally fraught issue. There's absolutely no need to pile mercilessly on someone asking an objective, simple question about technology as though they're suggesting giving bleach tablets to children under the guise of it being candy. Kind of makes you wonder, why in the world do they not want people thinking or talking about something like this.
