SIM only plans: 2G device compatible?

OG4 — Sat, 28 Oct 2023 22:56:29 GMT

I am currently a Plusnet customer and am planning to change to EE as is recommended.
However, I use an old 2G Nokia and would like to confirm that the 5G-compatible plans and SIM cards on offer will work with my venerable 2G-only device.
Does anyone know? Any info helpful, as will spare me having to remember to telephone EE when they're open, the only communication method they allow it would seem...
Thanks
Olly.

Yes, but be aware that the 2G network will be shut down by 2033 at the latest by all networks.

Yes, aware 2G is on borrowed time! Found out when I got there recently it was shut down in Switzerland in 2021!

But 10 years is plenty for me for now!

Thanks for your help.
