Even if you just have a standard Android operating system, you can prevent downgrade attacks by dialing *#*#4636#*#* and choosing phone information on Android. In there you can choose what your modem will connect to and so you can set it to only connect to say 5G and LTE and if neither of those are available your phone will just have no service.
That’s a good tip, I did not know that.
If someone is going to do this, you really only need to disable 2G. The later generations are encrypted and only your carrier (and the intelligence services who’ve compelled the carriers to provide the keys) has access to the important data.
My Motorola has this by default, buried in Settings > Security > More security settings > Network protection.
I have a Motorola, I just checked and it was not on. It is now.
