Dear Technology

I have a 10 year old dumb phone (keypad phone).

Has anyone unlocked their dumb phone ?

If so, could you tell me how you did it please ?

Yours sincerely ROMMMELLL

    Even unlocked, it might not be capable of connecting to modern networks. Some of the older phones used bandwidths that the carriers no longer have towers for

      Yeah I’m not sure if they had lte dumb phones yet 10 years ago. It might not work unless they’re somewhere with really old cell networks.

        Most of the operators still keep their 2G networks active. There’s simply too many iot devices that use 2G as a main or fallback comms to end old gsm network with only few years of warning. 3G on the other hand is going the way of the Dodo.
