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…

[image] dt90125: which I believe means that you can’t even place emergency calls with those carriers. This part is incorrect. The blacklisting doesn’t impact emergency camp-on. If it did, Vodafone would be obliged to blacklist FP5 as well.

[image] IainM: This part is incorrect. Interesting, and happy to be wrong. I have been mildly impressed by Vodafone’s extended coverage since I last looked at them seriously (being a semi-rural dweller), but the tech support has knocked them back down a peg or several. I may not have been o…

I’m using a FP6 on the Optus network and I have not experienced any issues specific to the FP. I accept that it might be blocked at some point in the future, but its currently showing as enabled for Telstra as well as Optus.

Hi All, This is not good news. I finally spoke with someone from the TIO. Long story short they can’t help me get any more information I need from Optus and Optus has ignored my calls and emails. However I found out the TIO is logging similar complaints and they have another team that compiles the…

Thanks Sir_Crispy, I’m acting as a bridge between this forum and some Australians that would like to better understand what’s the situation for Fairphone there. I’m passing your information too, many thanks. Ciao, Max

I’m looking at replacing my existing FP4 with a FP6 on the Optus network. I’ve not had any problems with my FP4 on Amaysim (a reseller of Optus) but as it’s battery is dieing and I can’t run purchase a new battery in Australia I’m contemplating upgrading to the latest FP6. However given the commen…

i believe that the fp6 is working fine (I’ve not heard of any issues). it’s the fp5 that’s had all the problems not sure you’ll get an fp6 into the country tho. i ordered one through amazon and it got blocked at customs so in the end i had to cancel the order and get a refund. and i know someone el…

I think we can still get a FP6 delivered to Australia through Clove Tech in the UK: that’s how we’ve got our FP4s. (We now have 3 working successfully) Our FP4s are still working fine: we just can’t get the official, ethically sourced batteries sent here. Really frustrating when you know the batt…
