Hi Mac
Itās only a response from a support ticket, so it may not be as authoritative as youād like, but this was the answer I got from fairphone support after they consulted their tech experts back in 2024:
Hi Iain,
Thank you for your patience.
After checking this further with my team I have some additional information I would like to share.
Emergency Calling over IMS (VoLTE) is not supported on the FP3(+) and there are currently no plans to support this.
We are in continuous communication with our partners in Europe to support these features when needed (see VoLTE & VoWi-Fi). However, most network operators who choose to shut down 3G keep 2G activated as a backup for emergency calling, to ensure support for legacy devices that do not support these features.
We cannot guarantee support for these features outside of Europe at this time.
I hope this helps further, please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Kind regards
The unfortunate reality is that if having high confidence that 000 will work is important to you, then you should probably use a phone that is sold in Australia where the manufacturer is required to make warranties that emergency calling on our networks has been tested. Fairphone explicitly make no warranties about any functionality outside of Europe.
