🇦🇺 3G network closure - Australia

[AnotherElk]

@Charlotte231

it will not work for 000 emergency calls as the phone forces 000 calls through the 3G network

Is this certain?
The Fairphone 3 can do 4G and VoLTE (4G voice calling, if the provider provisioned it for the user), and this 000 calls via 3G seems to apply to phones which can’t do VoLTE, so just wondering.

@Charlotte231

Is there anyone else in Australia impacted by this? Does anyone know of there is any possibility of addressing this so I don’t have to give up my FP3?

I did however ring my provider (Moose Mobile) and they confirmed that VoLTE was provisioned on my account.
To check use *#*#4636#*#* as mentioned above.
Click the 3 dots and select IMS service status. You should see ‘Voice over LTE: Available’. If not then ring Telstra and ask for it to be provisioned on your service.

This was given for a Fairphone 5, though.
On a Fairphone 3 dial *#*#4636#*#* for the “Testing” menu, choose “Phone information”, then have a look whether “VoLTE provisioned” is enabled. If not, call your provider to check whether they can provision VoLTE for you.
