Hijacking as I’ve done on other posts. In my country all 3 major tellcos needed to verify phones can call emergency on VoLTE.

FP5 does this. For whatever reason the telcos cant “conform” that (its not sold here but important and DOES work) so the device is blocked at a network level.

Not blocked just for calls but even data.

Phone is now a brick. Double brick once the Android changes roll through.

Yeah. So that seems to remove the 2 from 2FA…

Its not really 2 factors if it’s stored in the same DB though.

I came from Bitwarden where the community recommendation was to not store passwords and 2FA together in the cloud. If a beach orccurs and you lose both then there wasn’t a point in having the 2FA.

Less of a risk with a local solution but still not sure.

Do you store TOTP in a seperate KeePass?

For me swappog between two Keepass DBs is annoying. I can’t find anything that will sync my 2FAs.

Do any Android apps prevent this?

You mean an international sim? I don’t think so. The FP website tells users to check the phone is supported in the clintry they travel to.

And no. Aus gov did nothing BEOFRE this happend. We FP5 users found somewhere that supported us and hit it out. But seems were found.

Basically. But Optus is joining the party too.

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.

People have. Some samsungs were blocked in the first perge. There was minimal outcry. The normies just got new phones.

… Also someone did die coz they went able to call emergency services. Something to do with the phone not updated and had not been blocked properly (otherwise they would have known they couldn’t call emergency). So it seems that’s kicked off a new wave of checks.

Search Telstra 3G shutdown. They were the first to block all in 2024 (and can confirm still blocked) Optus is now blocking on the 10th March. There’s one telco left in AU. Everyone else sells one of these three.

Much discussion in this FP5 thread. https://forum.fairphone.com/t/3g-network-closure-australia

Despite what people say the phone works and has all requirements for the network, VoLTE calling and emergency calling. The telcos tho don’t want to take a risk with “unknown” modems. So they disable network.

Wow. Two FP posts in a night. Paste of my comment.

Faiphone is being frog marched out of Australia. Each telco is shutting it down and blocking IMEIs. Sucks for the people that imported them.

Cant even use it as data only. So unless you use it as puerly on WiFi it’s going to landfill. 😔.

Can I combine this with start.duckduckgo.com ?

And is there a mist of all the *.duckduckgo links?
