Android AuthorityEnd of an era: T-Mobile finally closes the door on 2G for good3G's long gone, and 4G's days are numbered, but up until today, T-Mobile was still offering 2G cellular service.
Just when some people are getting interested in reviving old dumbphones

The dumbphones being released now should all work on modern networks. The connection being 4G / 5G doesn’t mean the phone must have an internet browser and an app store.

If I can’t use my Nokia N-Gage, what’s the point?
Yes, but they’re new phones, not old phones revival

I have a dumb phone that works on 4G and uses voiceover LTE for its calling, so you can still use a dumb phone.
Just because the underlying network is 4G or 5G doesn’t mean you have to have a web browser and all the smartphone stuff.

Of course you can, but buying new isn’t the same as reviving the old ones
