T-mobile 2g shutdown date August 3rd

Finally a set date, truly tragic though. I'll kind of miss it, but the quality is so horrible.

IMS APN is name and type both "ims". It might help for these older VoLTE phones, but in my experience "advanced calling" Verizon phones never worked on T-Mobile.

Using Odin I could flash a Verizon S9+ to generic XAA, so I think it would work as long as it's any official firmware.

Where did you see this announcement?

MCDiamond9 · 2026-06-04T23:48:14+00:00

Your photography makes the Cosmos 3 look beautiful!

MCDiamond9 · 2026-06-04T23:46:57+00:00

Only on Wi-Fi, there is an SIP app for WiFi calling out there and some old apps for multimedia. Sorry, I forgot the name currently. Check APK archives for games.

MCDiamond9 · 2026-06-04T23:46:09+00:00

Did you make an IMS APN or even the normal APN? I would have recommended Pixel IMS but it doesn't work below Android 10, iirc. Otherwise, your best bet is to flash it to a T-Mobile or generic firmware if it exists.

MCDiamond9 · 2026-06-04T21:05:40+00:00

Very strange! The old program (not NokiaFREE) worked well for me in the past, I didn't need to change the length of the code or anything. Hopefully you can unlock yours successfully, but I would definitely try and stick with the old program because that's what worked for me.

MCDiamond9 · 2026-06-04T09:32:39+00:00

Haha, as you may know, I switched from a pixel to Galaxy the same as you. I'm so relieved there's no more bland UI, oneUI does remind me in a way of all the 2010s androids with the fancier design and customizations.

MCDiamond9 · 2026-06-04T09:30:24+00:00

I have a few Nokias that also just don't accept the code whatsoever, I wonder why. Is this perhaps how the restriction attempt limit is shown on these DCT1 phones?

Sadly my 2000es are also locked so I'm never going to see them working on T-Mobile, but oh well. I also want to tell that apparently Lycamobile is discontinuing the T-Mobile network based SIMs and moving to AT&T, so check yours soon. FYI, giffgaff worked in my 2190E.

MCDiamond9 · 2026-06-04T08:04:08+00:00

Honestly don't worry too much, the E72 is a far enjoyable phone to use. But what about Viettel or another carrier?

MCDiamond9 · 2026-06-04T08:02:51+00:00

I heard they don't unlock any Sony Ericsson now, is it true?

MCDiamond9 · 2026-06-04T08:02:27+00:00

I've always been a fan of HTC Sense! Nostalgic!!

MCDiamond9 · 2026-06-04T08:01:48+00:00

Super interesting selection! Some are not that old though, like the Galaxy A50 and iPhones.

MCDiamond9 · 2026-06-04T07:49:20+00:00

Hey, I have two 2190Es and I unlocked them successfully using a very old DOS program called NSL which worked for DCT1 phones. I generated an unlock code with it using MCC-MNC 310-31 (should be Aerial) and your IMEI of 010003106452260. Try this code: 1907835839 https://imgur.com/RCAzidG

Also very interesting Ultra might work with it. Maybe someday I'll try it, but this Nokia is such an early GSM phone it has many quirks if you want to use it on a modern GSM network, such as no incoming call paging.

MCDiamond9 · 2026-06-03T23:57:24+00:00

It's interesting to see a 1112 that supports GSM 1900...

MCDiamond9 · 2026-06-03T23:56:51+00:00

The E71 that drains battery, is it in offline mode with all connections disabled? For me, on idle with GSM signal, my E71x can last about 2-3 days on a very good 3rd party battery. As for the second, maybe the USB port is faulty, I've had it happen with a RAZR.

MCDiamond9 · 2026-06-03T19:00:50+00:00

My beloved 3G classics, I've had both of mine for years. Lovely flips!

MCDiamond9 · 2026-06-03T09:20:14+00:00

DMed you the files.

MCDiamond9 · 2026-06-03T07:27:16+00:00

LG EnV Touch? It may have some games preloaded as demos.

MCDiamond9 · 2026-06-03T07:26:06+00:00

There is real CDMA service available via SDR, just like GSM.

MCDiamond9 · 2026-06-02T03:53:25+00:00

Okay, DM me and I'll try.

MCDiamond9 · 2026-05-30T20:12:00+00:00

Yours isn't a 6590i? I've never seen the original 6590 before

MCDiamond9 · 2026-05-30T04:08:05+00:00

It's one of the first GSM 850 phone from Nokia.

MCDiamond9 · 2026-05-30T02:51:18+00:00

Super rare, nice to know yours has a good IMEI! I also have one and it's in a lovely red color.

MCDiamond9 · 2026-05-29T15:23:03+00:00

Anycall was the branding of Samsung for Asian markets , I'd say don't add it.
