- ninalanyon 20d agoMy Nokia 105 has 4G (as well as 3G and 2G) and is definitely not a smartphone and absolutely not an Android. It runs S30+. What do you mean by: > support for VoLTE Emergency
- inigyou 20d agoIf it can't call 911 you're not allowed to sell it as a phone. Phone calls use VoLTE which is newish technology. Therefore it's illegal to sell older technology as a phone.
- ninalanyon 20d agoWhy would I want to call 911? The number here is 999, or 110, 113, 113 in the rest of Europe. And of course I can call it.
- inigyou 20d agoRight, and if your phone can't support whatever the network uses for it, you're not allowed to sell it as a phone. Even fake toy phones for kids need stickers that say there's no emergency service.
- type0 20d agoAllowed or not, if you bought your phone before the regulations were in place you'd still have no connection on some models, even 4G phones > https://www.whistleout.com.au/MobilePhones/Guides/Check-if-phone-will-work-in-Australia https://www.whistleout.com.au/MobilePhones/Guides/Check-if-p... "But it's not just 3G phones that won't work on Australian mobile networks; certain 4G phones won't work either if they don't support Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE) Emergency Calling."
