Is my phone 4g compatible?

RomfordNavy

Is there a way I can check to see if my Nokia 216 (RM-1188) is 4G compatible?  I keep getting messages from Tesco Mobile about the forthcomming 3G switch-off but don't know if it will affect me or not.

You have a 2g phone and O2 (who Tesco Mobile use) will continue to run the 2g network.

Google or search engine of your choice will find the specs of the phone.

3G switch off won't affect your 2G-only phone. 
It won't work on 4G or 5G and doesn't work on 3G currently!

Your phone is only 2G, which will be switched after the 3G network.

From 2016? The only spec I can find online says that it is 2G only.

2G isn't being switched off yet so it should still work for the foreseeable.

PHK

Whilst 2G isn't being switched off, O2 have started (slowly) migrating the 1% if their customers who still have 2G phones away from 2G use. This is to free up bandwidth for emergency calls, machine to machine and Internet of things. 

From October O2 won't allow roaming onto 2G.

Given the age of the 216, it's probably best to plan to change to a more modern phone in the next year or so (if Tescomobile don't make you an offer beforehand). Others have reported getting a 4G voice compatible Nokia feature phone for £15 in Argos sale.
