Forced to use my phone during a windows update which breaks my computer. My phone is shitty and slow. Google is full of unhelpful results. Youtube is showing nothing but political ads about ms-13 killing white people.
Truly 2024 is great.
Actually impossible. The device was carrier-locked to Sprint PCS, who ran a CDMA network. It was decommissioned by T-Mobile (who bought them out) in 2020.
It is unlikely that there are any networks in the world that would still support tech that ancient.
Sorry for seriousposting a shitpost! In a past life, I worked for AT&T (TDMA 2G gang representing!).
There was a GSM version of that Nokia phone from the original Matrix film sold around the world. Are GSM radio bands from the late ‘90s/early 2000s still in use? If so it would presumably still work for calls and texts in some countries.
The spring activated thing in The Matrix was only in the movie though. On the real phone you had to actually pull that plate down yourself, which made the phone seem like a complete disappointment back in the day when I once met someone who actually had one. This person could sort of fiddle it with their hand to kinda push it out one smooth motion, but it just wasn’t quite right.
