I’m using a Fairphone 3 in Australia and the 3G network is being shutdown at the end of August. The advice from telecommunications providers is that the device may still work for calls/internet after the 3G shutdown, but that it will not work for 000 emergency calls as the phone forces 000 calls thr…

I guess its provider specific and effects all FPs when FPs cant use VoLTE in the network. It seems the provider knows how phones are logging in and might be able to help to get VoLTE working. So when they can confirm the phone was not using VoLTE so far they should be able to help and confirm the ot…

yes the advice from the provider was that they were contacting those who were identified as having an issue after the closure, and I have been contacted (repeatedly!)

Vodaphone shut down 3G in January. So is anyone here using their Fairphone on their network?

Thanks, I didn’t see the IMS service status before. I can see: IMS registration: Not registered Voice over LTE: Unavailable Voice over Wi-Fi: Unavailable Video calling: Unavailable UT interface: Available So as you suggest I will contact Telstra and ask for it to be provisionend.

Just spoke to Telstra and they were not very helpful. They said that all they can see is that my device is not compatible with 4G and that it is not going to work once the 3G network is shut down and that I need to replace the device. They couldn’t provide any more info than that. I guess I can jus…

Maybe call again and again…and tell them thats its not correct that the phone is not compatible per se and only in their network. We as FP user can only share experience
