Except they weren't non-compliant before and this is punishing the users, not the manufacturers. I don't even know what tech my phone uses for emergency services.
So? Technology moves forward. So of you have a phone no longer compliant you need to get a replacement.
These are not 20 year old phones. There's a reason these transitions are made gradually.
That’s not how telecommunications work at all. You always have backwards compatibility and you don’t need perfect latency or beam forming to make an emergency call. Don’t kid yourself it is solely to fuck with consumers and to make more money somehow.
Telcos in Australia have so far been the worst money grabbing vultures that I’ve ever seen. Like these motherfuckers would lock a PoE line to the MAC address of an networkadapter, so that you could use one machine and nothing more.
gooddamn your tongue must be raw from licking those corpo assholes all day. take a breather my man good lord!
