ELI5; Can old flap phones/burner phones run on the new 5G network?

416 views

In the Netherlands they announce that the 2G/3G phone signals will soon not be available anymore. So those old flip phones and burners would not be able to text or call because the network is updated?

Please #ELI5

*I asked about this in a local phone store and they told me those old phones can’t be used anymore once they remove 2G/3G from the network to optimise 5G

There are many LTE-compatible flip/basic phones sold for many years now which also circumvent the issue of 3g networks being phased out.

I personally haven’t seen a native 5Gnr flipphone, but i guess it’s only a matter of time
