    If you’re in a country where GSM is native it’s quite likely that 2G is still available. 3G probably got shut down in the meantime but 2G doesn’t need much spectrum and is kept as a baseline compatibility protocol, possibly even mandated by law (because emergency services). It’s also perfectly sufficient for voice calls. Internet is… tolerable if all you’re doing is browsing wikipedia and doing email. It’s easily twice as fast as a 56k modem what are you complaining about.
