T-Mobile will be phasing out the older T-Mobile 2G (GSM) network. Capacity and coverage of T-Mobile’s 2G (GSM) network is expected to change starting as early as February, 2025.
If you have 2G-dependent devices, you will need to replace them to continue using T-Mobile service without disruption, including the ability to make 911 calls.
To make the transition easier, T-Mobile is offering FREE replacement devices that can tap into the latest technologies, including an option for a free 5G phone. To replace your 2G-dependent device(s), visit a local T-Mobile store. For more information, call (800) 937-8997; if you are a business, please call (800) 375-1126.
