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.
