G54 cheapest eSIM phone. But been having network issues with Android 14 update. Motorola software is a nightmare.

lebara or amaysim PAYG

dimension is 100mm×55mm×14mm

One advantage of using a portable 4g is that it is much smaller and lighter than most cheap phones. I got one from aliexpress and it works…

And now it is not. No signal on optus. Spoke too soon.

Just need an optus sim to get the unlock code (can be done on any phone) and then a non-optus sim in the optus x pro to enter the unlock…

My Redmi k20pro bought in China miraculously still works on catch(optus) 4g as of 1AM 5th of Nov.

Sorry just would like to check if AMTA and Telstra say it is affected

I've got the Redmi k20pro, CN version. Mi 9T is the global version of k20, Mi 9T Pro is the global version of k20pro. Mine still work with…

CN Redmi Note9 5g, blocked on amaysim(optus). IMEI starts with 86612005

Hi, what is the first 8 digit of your IMEI?

Hi, could you check the first 8 digit IMEI of any phone? Other than phones that you have.

Hey, I saw that this ZTE Blade A7s 2020 is 164.7 x 77.4 x 8.2 mm, Weight 182 g. Info on the Optus x pro says it is 156.7 x 72.8 x 8.15mm…

Some oberservations, not sure if correct but would like to discuss: it seems the blocking only happens when the phone is using 4g, but if I…

It is a crime to try to make a fully functional 4g/5g phone work on a network in Australia. WOW

Thanks, but I guess this only work for some MTK chip phone right?

I think this summarize it well. It is just a white list, not about whether the phone is actually able to make 000 call.…

They could do so and they might do so. That is the problem.

So they are just reading your IMEI and determine whether they think your phone qualify. You can check this (dummy IMEI for a pixel9):…

same I got the Redmi Note9 5g, with 5g in the phone name, which is said to be affected by the network provider

Amaysim at least give their affected customers a $200 credit for buying a new phone.

Probably any phone they believe can’t call 000 on VoLTE, meaning any phone they don't sell. Even when it can actually make VoLTE 000 call.

Now I believe this is an issue with emergency 000 on VoLTE, which the telecomm companies block 4g/5g phones that they think can not make…

So same as me, amaysim (on optus 4g network) still working at least for now. Telstra network is known to be already blocking phones, not…

Maybe try removing the boost sim and use only the amaysim sim? Would that still be grey?
