Registration in non supported Country

[pcam]

Hi All,

I bought my Fairphone from a reseller and live in Australia.
The phone works brilliantly, full connectivity, super fast 5G etc.

However I realized I can’t contact support or register the device without inputting a country from the list of ones provided, which doesn’t include Australia.

Does this mean I can’t register it our contact support without making up a country?
Or am I fully unsupported

Thanks

Best is to #contactsupport, I suppose the answer is that you are indeed without an official registration. But we’re just users, like you Welcome to the forum by the way.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Sadly you are not supported directly and cannot register as you note. Any warranty would have to go via the business you bought from.

Fairphones in Australia

G’day mates. Thought it was about time a dedicated forum could be about Fairphone related topics to Australia. I know a lot of people with FP travel or come to live in Australia and there are already a few discussions around that. (cue @Stefan) There’s quite a few Australians who have sourced their FP via European friends, and so obtaining new parts or service is a bit more of an ordeal. There’s also a lot of people interested in getting Fairphones as their next phone, but pending good report…
