I'd never noticed this before as obviously the other places I'd used this phone with a local SIM all had 2G support, and given that I only use the local SIM for voice/SMS, it's always worked perfectly before.

Thankfully I had another small phone that I could use instead, but I did waste an hour or so trying to work out what was going on before I realized the limitation of my phone
