Re: Turn off 2G on phone
Tomwil, while what you say is true it’s also used for “man in the middle” attacks. It’s not only law enforcement that is using stingrays. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/android-users-can-now-disable-2g-to-block-stingray-attacks/

Re: Turn off 2G on phone
I know that T-Mobile has been turning off 2G towers for a while now but I’m not certain that it’s completed. On my phone the only options I have are four options found under Mobile Networks/Network mode: 5G/LTE/3G/2G (auto connect) LTE/3G/2G (auto connect) LTE/3G (auto connect) 2G only Based on these selections it appears that 2G is still an option, at least on my phone. Where I live I mostly get 5G and LTE so it may not be an issue but I do want to be a protected as possible.

Turn off 2G on phone
I have an S20 FE 5G phone that was recently upgraded to Android 12. I understand that there is a very dangerous 2G vulnerability called "Stingray". Is it possible to block or disable 2G on my phone?
