AT&T and Verizon have already shut-down their 2G network
Previously, some of the most dominating telecom operators such as American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T and Verizon) shut down back their 2G networks, AT&T did it back in 2017 followed by Verizon which pulled the plug on its 2G network back in 2020, which is soon to be joined by T-Mobile by the start of next month.
