If you’re in a country where GSM is native it’s quite likely that 2G is still available. 3G probably got shut down in the meantime but 2G doesn’t need much spectrum and is kept as a baseline compatibility protocol, possibly even mandated by law (because emergency services). It’s also perfectly sufficient for voice calls. Internet is… tolerable if all you’re doing is browsing wikipedia and doing email. It’s easily twice as fast as a 56k modem what are you complaining about.

Ha! If only. They at most had WAP browsers and noone was using them because you paid like five bucks per transferred byte.
If we’re referring to such old phones, the only WAP site I know is the test from Nostalgia Nerd. From this video [YouTube]
