Goodluck with that in the future.

Both Optus and Telstra have announced plans to turn off 2G services to
recover spectrum to be used for (4G cough cough) LTE rollouts.

I guess there is no USO on being able to make an audible phone call on
cellular.

Then again, it may be a ploy to get government to force the release of
more spectrum...
