BYOD, as in Bring You Own Device, hence buying and importing phones that you wouldn’t typically see on a Telstra plan.
Whether or not a device can actually support VoLTE unfortunately actually has very little to do with what is and isn’t being blocked; even the industry itself doesn’t know what 100% will and won’t be affected, as there are devices that are told to be ready for post 3G shutdown, but in testing they are not emergency VoLTE ready, and so will not be able to make emergency calls after the shutdown, and no matter what you put on the phone, if the IMEI number isn’t on a compatible registry, that phone will be blocked.
I do highly suggest reading the article, as it does go more into depth on everything (as well as the Change.org petition). I am “tech aware,” to a degree; however, I am not at all well knowledged, just something I genuinely very much feel needs to be shared.
Um what? From the article you posted
They were both traveling on the right side of the road of (based on the supplied pictures from the articles) a two way, single lane each way street, and the ambulance turned right and didn’t cross any traffic, thus the Ambulance didn’t make a illegal turn.
The Ambulance should be at fault, and the Fire and Rescue should be covering charges as the ambulance driver wasn’t being well aware enough to make the turn, but at the same time Hoesch, The cyclists, also should have given way.
I’m all for less cars on the road, but don’t go throwing information that isn’t true, please.
