Oops.
https://www.theregister.com/2023/12/20/uk_2g_3g_switchoff/Some towns & other government agencies still use 2G and 3G cell service. That is being shut down in the next few years (before 2033).
Side note - I wonder if the "smart meters" being deployed depend on cell service or some other radio messages. They could have the same problem in a decade or so as well.
