Years ago, I had an Eastern Caribbean Cellular (ECC) phone until they went out of business around 2011. Since that phone was no longer compatible with either TelCell or Chippie, I bought a new basic Samsung flip phone and then bought a Chippie sim card and topup card from Sharon. Until this post, I did not realize that this 2G phone may no longer work so I e-mailed Chippie and they confirmed that 2G is no longer functional and my phone will not work. Since I like to have my own phone and keep the number each year, I will now start the process to find a new one.
