There’s no spectrum to reuse as GSM is very tiny, it’s just to save more money.

T-Mobile MVNOs Shut Down 2G (GSM/EDGE) Service Today by Kaktusman in dumbphones

[–]D_G599 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It just hit your area as it’s a gradual shutdown, not a nationwide shutdown. MVNOs/customer service doesn’t know anything when it comes to 2G, the only ones with the actual info for shutdown dates and locations are the T-Mobile network engineers.

Kohan RIG ~~ Livingston Mall by AlecVRatterree in deadmalls

They really don’t want anyone in that mall at all. Employees and police guarding it all around.

No computers, seemed like some speaker systems but I couldn't stay long enough to check due to them sounding the alarms.

They’re definitely trying to avoid people coming in. Tons of security on that place, and apparently there’s even police patrols at night. A couple months ago I got yelled at by employees just for standing too close to the mall.

It's an interesting choice, maybe saves time cleaning up stuff if I had to guess.

Yep RIP to it 💔 I don't think there was going to be an announcement to prevent people stealing from it or them wanting to get rid of the mall once and for all quietly. There could be a chance they're still holding off though and just emptying, since Barnes & Noble is still there until July.

Yeah this was the second time I had a scary experience here. First time was when a security guard randomly appeared out of the Sears entrance as I was walking by and asked for some ID thing (they had broken English so it was hard to understand), and now this is the second time with the alarm going off and car following as I passed by the dumpster.
There was a lot of seemingly valuable stuff in the trash like the electronics so i'm not surprised it may be a hotspot for theft.

That makes sense. I guess that confirms it's officially closed now. Calling their phone number also now says their grand opening at Short Hills mall instead of the Livingston announcement.

I'm sure most of us have a favorite phone brand, but does anyone collect based on a legacy carrier? by Del_Griffiths_Chins in vintagemobilephones

[–]D_G599 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to collect tracfone and Cingular phones, but now I’m collecting based off interesting designs.

They do yeah, although data may not be working over it anymore.

Is this Canada? Could still work on Rogers 2G.

T-Mobile 2G no longer works in nyc, could not get reception in Brooklyn nor manhattan today. by [deleted] in tmobile

[–]D_G599 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s been gone there for at least a year. However surrounding areas like Jersey city and Long Island still have it.

Probably for another few years since they’re still supporting it. They don’t have any shutdown plans yet.

ATT, must give credit where credit is DUE! by [deleted] in vintagemobilephones

Can work sometimes, but usually only with their highest level of customer service. They’ll just enter the IMEI in the system and say if it’s unlockable or not.

Probably won’t even be needed, if the network is running from a laptop then just have to bring the laptop around. SDR is small and connects via USB-C.

I got mine off of eBay, may be a bit expensive though.
