UL phone Tiny T1 with 2G useful in the outdoors?

^^^

“PLEASE NOTE: Due to its tiny size, the Zanco tiny t1 will ONLY operate on the 2G network. “

I don’t get it.  How can you even see the Pokemon?

Thanks.

It will mostly be useless, though how useless depends on where you’re hiking. KPN, Vodaphone and T-Mobile have very little 2G coverage in the Netherlands. The big cellular companies in the US said they were turning off all of their 2G towers early last year.

Here’s an interesting website that lets you see what kind of coverage any country has by each cellular company. It defaults to the US map, but you can choose any country you like and it will show coverage, and even allow you to choose specific cities for their coverage.

More Kickstarter gold.

Thanks for the information about the Netherlands, Doug. I’m afraid I wasn’t being specific enough
It was meant for using in the US and as backup for sectionhiking the PCT in Washington. And I’ve also seen the coverage maps in this part of the US.

I tend to understand now the given information about networks and the Tiny T1 turns out to be a rather useless gadget for me, considering my purpose ti use ut as a backup.

Thanks for making me this understood.
