Out of curiosity, how did you get your old phone online? Did it have wifi, or were you able to get it on an actual mobile network? I thought I heard the 2g/3g networks have mostly shut down, at least in the US

Actual network. The phone pictured is from 2002, it did not have wifi. I had to solder in a new battery to get that far.
3G is shut down, 2G remains on with T-Mobile in areas they had it previously. As I stated before you need an old SIM card to use 2G only devices on the network. Newer cards activated in the past 5-7 years or so will only work on 2G with a 3G or newer phone.
