    Thread goes back to the Telstra cutoff. Optus to do the same soon. Looks like TPG might be the last stand.

    I'll be interested to know what happens with FP6. Of your notbwoth TPG or a reseller of there's you should have got a message by now.

    I can only assume that message is because the FP 5 is not compatible with VoIP (not strictly related to the 3G cutoff). If so, that means it is actually unable to call emergency services, and is therefore unable to be used safely in Australia.

    The emergency services in Australia have recently switched to VoIP only, and want to eliminate the risk of someone using a non VoIP capable phone as their only phone. This appears to be a general safety issue, not specifically targeted at Fairphone.

    The FP 6 does support VoIP, so it should have no issues.
