#3g shutdown

[jodjuya]

>be me

>Make a phone call this morning

>Get a Telstra robovoice beforehand saying "ur phone is about to be disconnected because we're about to turn off 3g"

>am very confused. Phone is 5g phone, why is it getting disconnected???

>check Telstra website. Says to SMS "3" to 3498 to check ur phone.

>results say: "yeah boy, go buy urself a new phone"

>more confusion, because for real this is a *5g phone* using a *4g SIM card*, so Telstra wtf are you talking about???

>investigate further. Oh... maybe it's this?

>investigate *further* further. Find some nerds giving very complicated instructions for how to fix that:

>follow instructions. Get new "VoLTE" icon on status bar as described:

>🥳

>(for completeness, find the script for how to place test calls to 000, so that I can do that when September comes):

I guess if anyone wants to upgrade their elderly phone for cheap, go hit up Facebook marketplace for folks selling off their "disconnected" phones that they've been scared into needlessly upgrading from...

Though I would hope that anyone using a carrier-provided handset has received an OTA update to remedy that "hArDwiREd to uSe 3G fOr eMErGEnCy cAlLs" issue.

I don't have a carrier-provided handset so I guess that's why I slipped that particular lasso... 🤔

connecting gaza

E-sims for Gaza:

Palestinians are using donated eSIM cards to stay in touch with the outside world  (Jan 2024, NBC News)

Many of the eSIMs are donated by activists who collect them from donors around the world. Mirna El Helbawi, a 31-year-old Egyptian writer who runs a project called Connecting Gaza, said she has distributed more than 100,000 eSIMs since the war began. www.instagram.com/mirna_elhelbawi

She and other activists use Instagram and X to solicit donors from around the world to purchase eSIMs from international phone carriers. They then pass them to a system of what El Helbawi calls “human routers” across Gaza with functioning eSIMs who can set up their phones as Wi-Fi hot spots to share additional eSIMs with others.

Internet blackouts as weapon (WIRED)

On October 27, Israel reportedly imposed a full internet shutdown in the area, cutting off the last remaining connectivity for about 34 hours as its troops moved into the Gaza Strip. After what’s left of Gaza’s internet access was restored—data shows it stands at around 15 percent or less of usual connectivity—the area has suffered two other, similar connectivity blackouts. The most recent lasted for about 15 hours on Sunday as Israel was carrying out an intense operation to cut off Gaza City in the north from southern Gaza Throughout the Gaza Strip, there are around a dozen internet service providers and cell phone companies that get people online—although cell networks only use 2G technologies, as opposed to the faster 3G, 4G, and 5G connections available across much of Israel. These companies are heavily reliant on Israeli infrastructure to connect to the global internet, with open internet advocacy nonprofit the Internet Society classing Palestine as having “poor” connections to the wider internet. Since the start of the war, mobile and internet providers’ offices, cables, and cell towers have been destroyed. Many are now totally offline.

I have a 4G phone. Until recently, the phone company - Telstra - didn't have a problem with that. Then I received a text message telling me that they were blocking me, because I don't have a VOLTE phone. Despite them advertising that they were 'upgrading' to 4G only - i.e. LTE. So what's the difference? I live in a remote area, with poor coverage. VOLTE is more vulnerable to disruption, but is a lot cheaper for phone companies to run. It's worse for customers, unless they are living in the city and there's no crisis. So I - like a lot of poorer Australians - don't live in the city. I'm really unimpressed at being forced to buy a new phone so that they can make more money, and then potentially find that my calls won't connect, or drop out when they do. Telstra was founded by tax money, and is in a weird sort of public/private space, but they are best understood as a monopoly with token competition. If you don't use Telstra in areas like mine, then you can't use a phone. The government required me to have a phone 24/7 and to be on call as I am a disabled pensioner waiting for housing. It told me that if I don't answer the phone when they call, they give the housing to someone else. So it's a big deal, and I have no choice, and I have to add this to the laundrey list of reasons I fvcking despise the government, and yes, I'm aware that only around 1% of the government are actually people you can vote for.

Brazil moving ahead with 2G, 3G shutdown

Brazilian telecom regulator Anatel opened a consultation process to collect observations on plans to shut down 2G and 3G networks and transfer spectrum used by those technologies to 4G and 5G.

The process was launched Tuesday, as published in the country's federal gazette.

Operators from other countries in the region, such as Puerto Rico, Colombia and Chile, have already begun this shutdown process, as reported by BNamericas.

At the same time, the Brazilian watchdog vows to curb the certification of cellphones and other equipment made to run only on the legacy technologies, a request that has been made by both operators and chipset manufacturers such as Qualcomm.
