murphy Posted July 6, 2016 at 06:52 PM Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 at 06:52 PM From what I have read from various other posts, the 2G service that these cars use will be discontinued by the end of 2016 (again that's just based on what others have posted), and if that is true then I wonder if the TCUs in all of these cars would have to replaced as part of that process anyway? Added - I found an article about the end of 2G service... http://articles.latimes.com/2012/aug/03/business/la-fi-tn-att-2g-20120803T-Mobile apparently plans to stay around until the end of 2020. http://connectedworld.com/the-uncarrier-view-to-2g-sunset/ Will Ford avoid the hardware problem by switching to T-Mobile? My 5 year data service expires in April 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 5 year data service expires in April 2018. Unlikely. The replacement modems that Ford has provided to Mercury Hybrid owners are 3G http://fordcmaxenergiforum.com/topic/4681-att-to-shut-down-2g-network-by-january-1-2017/?do=findComment&comment=37870 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
