Comment on The retro Nokia phone everyone owned 25 years ago will get a reboot soon – and yes, it has Snake
barsoap@lemm.ee 6 months agoIf you’re in a country where GSM is native it’s quite likely that 2G is still available. 3G probably got shut down in the meantime but 2G doesn’t need much spectrum and is kept as a baseline compatibility protocol. It’s also perfectly sufficient for voice calls. Internet is… tolerable if all you’re doing is browsing wikipedia and doing email. It’s easily double as fast as a 56k modem what are you complaining about.

If possible, bookmark 68k.news and frogfind.com on those phones.

If we’re referring to such old phones, the only WAP site I know is the test from Nostalgia Nerd. From this video [YouTube]
