What should I do with the 2G terminal after the 2G network is shut down?

China Unicom will completely shut down the 2G network by the end of 2020, and China Telecom is also shutting down 2G base stations on a large scale, and China Mobile is shutting down 3G base stations, and the shutdown of 2G networks has become an inevitable trend.

For vehicle management companies, there are the following changes.

Change 1: Management becomes harder.

The number of 2G base stations decreases, the 2G signal deteriorates, and the vehicle positioning is inaccurate or unable to be located.

With the rise of 4G and 5G technologies, the proportion of 2G network usage is decreasing year by year, but the cost of 2G base station maintenance remains high, so 2G network shutdown has become an inevitable trend. The gradual reduction of 2G base stations will directly lead to the deterioration of 2G signals and inaccurate vehicle positioning data, which makes vehicle location management and scheduling management more difficult, and increases the management cost of enterprise vehicles in disguise.

Change 2: Increased costs.

Cost of scrapped 2G terminals + cost of replaced 4G terminals.

Change 3: The threshold becomes higher.

The cost of 4G terminals is nearly twice that of 2G terminals, resulting in a larger initial investment in vehicle management systems and a higher threshold for use. Coupled with the epidemic this year, many small and medium-sized enterprises are unable to make ends meet and may find it difficult to pay this fee.

Recently, I learned that the easyMarkets vehicle management system has a low threshold and can solve the cost problem of vehicle management after the 2G network is shut down.

Pro: Now the three major operators are dismantling 2G communication equipment, using 4G call technology, your vehicle terminal is 2G, if the operator's 2G equipment is removed, your 2G vehicle terminal can no longer be used, because 3G, 4G and the future use of 5G communication frequency bands are separated from 2G, different, so it is impossible to use 3G, 4G signal.

Telecom is also dismantling 2G base stations, can our 2G vehicle terminals still be used?

It will also stop. I will definitely hear it, and what is the use of secondary school?

China Mobile's 2G network is officially closed in only some countries and regions.

As of July 1, 2017, the roaming partner operators that have closed or will close the 2G network and their 3 4G network frequency band information are as follows: the United States, Singapore, Taiwan, Australia, Canada, of which Singapore, Taiwan, and Australia are all 2G network closed.

There is no exact time when the 2G network will be shut down, but it is getting closer and closer to the official cancellation of the 2G network.

China's three major carriers have not announced the official shutdown of 2G networks, but the closure of 2G networks has been on the agenda since December 2016.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) issued the "Reply on Agreeing to China United Communications Group's Adjustment of Part of the Frequencies for LTE Networking". Approved China Unicom to use 2G and 3G spectrum resources for 4G networks, adjust China Unicom 900MHz, 1800MHz, and 2100MHz for 4G networking, and allow nationwide deployment, so China Unicom is getting closer and closer to officially canceling the 2G network.

From April 21 to 25, 2018, the first "Digital China" Construction Summit was held in Fuzhou. The relevant person in charge of China Unicom said in an interview with People's Daily Online that at present, Unicom has not taken any action to "close the 2G network", and the existing 2G customers will not be affected in any way. At the same time, China Unicom will open 300,000 NB-IoT base stations across the country before the International Telecommunications Day on May 17 this year;

5G large-scale networking technology verification was carried out in 5 cities, and service verification was launched in 16 cities. Li Guangju, general manager of China Unicom's government and enterprise customer division, emphasized that at this stage, China Unicom is only steadily and orderly promoting the frequency reduction of the original 2G network, and there is no action to "close the 2G network", and the existing 2G customers, including 2G Internet of Things terminal services, will not be affected in any way.

The group requires a large-scale withdrawal of the network across the country in June 2026, and the 2G equipment must be replaced in time before this time.

After turning off the 2G network, the 2G mobile phone cannot be used normally.

After the 2G network is turned off, consumers must replace the terminal if they want to use the 4G network. 2G network users are not smartphone users, but feature phones. After the 2G network is turned off, users must purchase the corresponding mobile terminal to use the 4G service.

Extended Roll-in Materials:

Impact on users after shutting down the 2G network:

1. Terminal replacement cost. After the 2G network is turned off, users must change their mobile terminals to use 4G services, which requires consumers to pay for themselves.

2. The quality of network coverage deteriorates. As one of the earliest mobile communication networks, the 2G networks of the three major operators have been continuously optimized and upgraded for more than ten years, and the network coverage has been quite perfect. After the 2G network is all shut down, once there is no 4G network and 3G network, the user's normal communication service will be sold and lost.

3. The tariff is substantial**. Since the 2G, 3G and 4G networks of the three major operators have different tariff systems, once the 2G network is closed, the user's number will not change, but the original 2G tariff will be invalidated.

After the technology changes of 3G and 4G, the 2G network, which has been in operation for more than ten years, has become a heavy economic burden for the three major operators. As we all know, compared with 3G and 4G networks, the tariff of 2G network is very low, and some ** are even as low as 3 yuan. In the case of China Mobile and China Unicom, the 3 yuan card can be found everywhere in every region of the country.

Although the three major operators of China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom have also been guiding users to migrate to 4G networks, from the data point of view, the three major operators of China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom have the largest number of 2G network users, but they used to be the least. In the case of China Mobile, the 4G network penetration rate is the highest among the three major operators, about 60%. In terms of operating costs, the cost of 2G and 4G networks is almost the same.

In addition, the 2G network base station technology is relatively old, the energy consumption is high, the three major operators have the most 2G users, but make the least money, and the 2G network in some areas is even running at a loss. More importantly, the continued use of high-quality frequencies for 2G has led to a sharp increase in the cost of 4G network construction for the three major operators, which is the real reason for shutting down 2G networks.

In response to the country's call for speed increase and fee reduction (and elimination of backward production capacity), China Unicom upgraded the network. Since your phone only supports 2G network, the mobile phone signal is weak, which affects the normal call quality. It is recommended that you switch to a 3G 4G mobile phone with a good signal and smoother use.

The shutdown of 2G is a regressive phenomenon driven by commercial interests.

When traveling, climbing, working in the field, and rescuing lives in remote areas, I want to have a deeper understanding that only 2G network coverage has basically achieved the whole field. Most of the valleys that are not too uninhabited have signals, and the worst climbs to the top of the mountain must have signals.

As for 34g in the wild and non-residential areas in mountainous areas, it is basically all dead ends. It's not even remote, as long as the terrain is special, there is no signal.

As for 5G, off the road, there should be outrageously many dead ends.

Open the main interface of your phone and find the "Settings" button. Click to enter the settings interface in the settings interface, find the "mobile network" function option, click to enter the interface in the mobile network settings, it is easy to see that there is a "network type selection" option below, click to enter the network type selection interface, see that the default is the 3G network priority option, click on the following "only use 2G network", click on the system will automatically exit the settings interface.

Re-enter the network type selection interface, and find that the current setting has changed to only use 2G network, and the setting is successful.

You can try it and tell you that you can.

If the 2G network function of the mobile phone is turned off, it generally only restricts the function of surfing the Internet, and other functions such as calling ** and sending text messages can still be used normally.

2G has been in use, when you call**Connect**,Your phone will show 2G network。

The current 2G network is the e-network!
