Using an AT&T branded LG B470 on a 2G network with T Mobile?
Does T Mobile still support 2G phones or older phones and their 2G network? Is the LG B470 from AT&T still supported on T Mobile's 2G network? Can I use the LG B470 from AT&T on a 2G network with T Mobile? Do I have to call AT&T Customer Service, go to the AT&T store, or use the AT&T website to get a unlock code from AT&T and unlock the LG B470 for T Mobile?
It still needs to have VoLte to be activated on Tmobile so don't get your hopes up because most really are not experts much like the Apple geniuses at the Apple store.

I already have checked with T Mobile that an AT&T branded LG B470 is still supported on a 2G network after T Mobile's 3G shutdown from July 1, 2022 and AT&T'S 3G shutdown from February 22, 2022. I found out that the LG B470 from AT&T is compatible on T Mobile's 2G network after T Mobile's 3G shutdown from July 1, 2022 and AT&T'S 3G shutdown from February 22, 2022.

The phone lacks VoLte so if it's a new activation it may not work.
An AT&T branded LG B470 from 3G still works on T Mobile’s 2G network after T Mobile’s 3G shutdown from July 1, 2022 and AT&T’S 3G shutdown from February 22, 2022.

Misspelled T Mobile. T Mobile’s 2G network is still around.
Yes but the phone does not support VoLte which the “expert “ told you it doesn't have but it needs it to be activated.

At best, you might get 8 months of 2g service

Did you ask the expert how the phone will support VoLte calling with no 3G?
A T Mobile Expert at technical support told me that an AT&T branded LG B470 supports 2G but not 3G, 4G, or VOLTE because the phone is compatible on T Mobile’s 2G network and a old flip up phone can fall back to 2G after 3G shutdown from July 1, 2022.
