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.
In just over 7 months … it won’t work in the US anyways.

The most sure-fire way to see if a device is going to work on our network is by entering the IMEI into our Bring Your Own Device Checker. That will check that the network technology is compatible and that the device supports VoLTE. VoLTE is a requirement for any device on the T-Mobile network to be able to access calls and data.
No, I don’t have the phone.
If you don't have the phone, then the best thing you can do is get the phone and try it. Double check the return policy when you do that, though, because if it does not work, it would be unfortunate for you to be stuck with the phone.

And has security issues that requires a normal user to turn off 2G to avoid backdoor hacks.

Some T Mobile customers still use 3G and 2G phones on a 2G network after 3G shutdown from July 1, 2022. T Mobile's 2G network is still active before April 2, 2024.
you are absolutely right and the phone will work perfectly fine as you have stated so many times..you should go ahead and get the device and add it to the TMO network. let us know how it works out.
Those were activated prior to the announcement. No new activations now.
