And it's not everywhere. Here they have only just started installing "Smart" Electricity meters that use 3G.
Most USA 2G was CDMA, not GSM 2G.
Also many USA 3G is not compatible with other 3G, nor upgraded to HSPA etc. It's some USA operators getting rid of stuff that's very obsolete.
Yes, the Amazon trade in isn't worth it. Someone using a non-Kindle may offer more and only care if it's deregistered and not blacklisted. They only need it to work long enough to register and then put it in a drawer.
Trade-ins in most sectors are convenience, not value.
