Something that should be considered when buying your micromobility device: Try to get something that will last and not end up as trash.

The problem is devices still made LONG after 4G came out with 2 or 3G. My friends 2016 Hyundai has 2G for its blue link service that now doesn’t work. My 2018 Outback uses 3G for its Starlink system, but I ripped that box out long ago.

2G is still operational pretty much everywhere. It's still the lowest level fallback for telecommunications.

This is probably rather US specific, 2G is used for emergency services many places in Europe so it's not easily disposed of.

2G was decommissioned in Australia too
