Seriously doubt it "they" would switch to a 2G network. Do you know the implications for that ? Huge, even if TMO would agree to do it. Not trying to burst your bubble here, but TMO is shutting down 2G by EOY '22. I am surprised they kept it that long.
My suspicion is that JLR will throw in a voucher for 1 year free data on your next vehicle you buy from them. It is economically unfeasible for them to change all the modems remaining in service today. But, then again, I could be wrong (it happened once or twice in my life before )

 

no bubble here, just relaying what I was told. :-) Information could change between now and JLRs official announcements about it.

 

It allowed me to buy a new subscription.

 

Oh boy. Interesting. Sadly it doesn't mean they can actually provide the service to MY2017s.

 

3G subscription ??
That is intriguing.
Let us know in March if that is still working please.

 

Last I heard industry is pushing to delay sunset until December 2022. Something about medical devices and alarm systems. It's weird that there's a FCC filing saying there's 260k affected JLR vehicles. That is one lawyered up customer group I'd guess.

And in other news, Massachusetts residents will soon be excluded from any telematics services what so ever:

You literally can't make this stuff up. E bike, anyone?

 

In line with what Dinkeldorf was saying:
https://www.securityinfowatch.com/al...is-almost-here
"The security industry – led by organizations like the Electronic Security Association (ESA) and the Alarm Industry Communications Committee (AICC) of The Monitoring Association – has been fighting for many months in an attempt to persuade AT&T to extend its deadline."
"For its part, AT&T argues, among other things, that the security industry has had years to upgrade older devices; that the FCC does not have jurisdiction over this issue;"

Sounds like it's going to be an interesting Feb 2022. Both my AT&T and Remote plans are up for renewal, I'll wait till March before adding them back.

 

I hate ATT as much as the next guy, but here ATT is right. They have announced this almost 4 years ago.
If the "security / alarm" industry sat on their collective buts, is only their own making. Upgrading equipment is expensive, I get it. But they did not even tried.
JLR (and other car manufacturers) are in the same boat. Did nothing - zilch, to update the old equipment. Why bother, when you can sell 'em a new car !?
So yeah, let's shift the blame on some one else ... typical.

I've been bugging Land Rover about this issue on my 2016 Discovery Sport, with no resolution. They basically told me, "We'll contact you with a solution.". I also got the line that 'your car doesn't use 3g, it connects to our servers directly.'. That's bogus; we all know the cars use the cell networks to talk to JLR. We'll just continue on with our ears to the rails. Even Subaru and Chevrolet have web pages dedicated to the 3G shutdown.
