Will I remain reachable without 4G?
Of course you will! You will then automatically use the outdated 2G network. This has a number of limitations.
Slooooooow internet
Sending a Whatsapp message is possible, but images, music and videos cannot be handled by the outdated network.
No simultaneous calling and internet
Internet, listening to music or using social media: as soon as you receive a call, your connection is lost.
Less secure connection
The outdated network does not receive any security updates. Your connection is therefore less secure.
