2g phones on vodafone network?

[acra24]

Hello

I bought a basic 2G Doro phone and a PAYG Vodafone SIM for my aged mother-in-law. Having got the SIM registered on the network ever since it mostly goes to SOS calls only and only so often connects so that a phone call can be made. I called Doro who told me it's likely an issue with the fact it's a 2G phone and the area I'm using it in.  However it doesn't matter where in the country I use it (my mother-in-law) lives some way away) I still have these issues. Is Doro right? Do I need to get a 4G phone? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'll be grateful for any help.

Thanks

Andrew

3G is being retired @acra24 but there shouldn't be any problems using the 2G network. although Vodafone recommend using a 4G smartphone.  See here 4G calling
