Elderly people are concerned: will their alarm button still work when the 2G network is switched off in a year?

Many elderly individuals are concerned about the functionality of their personal alarm systems after the 2G network is shut down in December 2027. While certified providers are transitioning to 4G systems, unregulated devices sold online may still rely on 2G technology, posing risks. Users are advised to check if their alarm provider is a member of the WDTM association to ensure their device will remain operational. The potential danger lies in the false sense of security these outdated devices provide, as many users may not realize their alarms will fail in emergencies.
