I'd definitely be trying Shizuku + Pixel IMS in that case. If you find that it works, the next thing to check is if the setting "sticks"…

On my C21, VoLTE doesn't even appear as a standard settings option, even with a non-Lebara SIM, and that doesn't change when using Pixel…

There's something funky going on affecting VoLTE when using some handsets with Lebara. To get VoLTE working with a Lebara SIM in a Realme…

I've got a $35 Telstra starter pack that I don't plan on activating until May. If I go through the initial motions of activating it, I'm…

Data point: My Lyca purchase on 3/11/24 had the cashback approved on 4/3/25.

Colin2905 commented on nbn - TPG or Superloop?
> TPG for 1 year = $850 > Superloop for 1 year = $888 I can see how Superloop (for 50/20 NBN) would be $888 for the first year ($67 x 6 +…

Meanwhile, the 5¢ SMS approach that I outlined on the previous page should still do the trick.

Yeah, that's where I was going with my question. If it's *not* the OP's old Lyca voicemail, then the only other possibility that I can…

Long story short, I activated one today and I'll be letting it expire. So we'll know for sure..... eventually.
