  • Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it?

    Jump

  • Sadly that's only (or mostly) in America. Here we get whatever meds the dr says. Most common ones are subsidized by the government (via taxes yes).

    My idea of Ameroca was already wild but finding out you gotta convince an insurance company you pay that you need medicine a dr prescribes is crazy.

    Oh and we get pretty much all blood tests and stays for free. GP one day, scan/test the same day (different location but some have them next door) then back at the GP by the end of the week with results and get your meds. Done.

    Sorry OP.

  • Will these phones (regardless of OS) be supported in various countries lockdown of IMEIs.

    My country blocked FairPhone 5 IMEIs, even though it meets requirements, as its not officially sold. Among other popular and official brands.

    They basically can limit what phones you have now.

  • My bad. The old one was "QKSMS" and the new name of "QUIK" without SMS is confusing.

    I thought you meant QKSMS.

  • What is ROM state of development with locked bootloaders and pixle going down the drain. Not to mention broken VoLTE (last time I looked) now needed in a bunch of countries since 3g cutoff.

    Like ideally yes.

    But you think they'll stop at the play store?

  • There's more "news" about this than actual information. I'm skeptical until I see some development

  • FP5 does support VoIP and VoLTE. It can call 000.

  • What launcher should I replace Nova with?

    Jump

  • The 3G service was shutdown. The telcos needed to ensure devices can call VoLTE incase of emergency.

    FP5 does this. But it's not officially sold here. So they see a modem there unsure of and now cant confirm if it will reliably call emergency. Easier for them to block it than see it works.

    From what I understand the major telco had some priority VoLTE stuff that made orbit not work. The second major telco seemed to support it as they use more open standards. There's one left and well have to see how that goes.

    It also means telcos can now choose when to drop support for given phone models. Literally force users to upgrade handsets by turning them into WiFi only bricks.

  • You mean an international sim? I don't think so. The FP website tells users to check the phone is supported in the clintry they travel to.

    And no. Aus gov did nothing BEOFRE this happend. We FP5 users found somewhere that supported us and hit it out. But seems were found.

  • People have. Some samsungs were blocked in the first perge. There was minimal outcry. The normies just got new phones.

    ... Also someone did die coz they went able to call emergency services. Something to do with the phone not updated and had not been blocked properly (otherwise they would have known they couldn't call emergency). So it seems that's kicked off a new wave of checks.

  • Is there a 100% free way to pirate as a newcomer?

    Jump

  • Never used a VPN. Never got a letter. Hardly heard of anyone being actually sued over downloading one movie out of the millions that do it daily...probably more likely for die driving to work.

    Torrent. Install Qbittorrent and just use any Prate bay clone site.

    Or SlSk (soul seek) search and download directly from a user. They may expect to see that your sharing files. It's OK to have nothing when your starting out.

    Or Stremio installed on almost any TV or device and stream the content without downloading first. Kodi can do it too but it's a bit of a setup and I've found Stremio to be easier.

    The first two install without issie, the last needs a guide to get the good stuff DM me and I'll send a recommended link.

    I've done all three for free with no issues - beyond sometimes finding content. That said. The caviets.

    The first two can get you a virus if you don't know what your doing and clicking random things. For torrenting I hear private trackers are better but I've never used one.

    And the last one does, unfortunately, work better with a paid service (premoumize or real debrid). Cheapest is during black friday and pay for two years. It's the same as yearly Prime Subscription.

  • Search Telstra 3G shutdown. They were the first to block all in 2024 (and can confirm still blocked) Optus is now blocking on the 10th March. There's one telco left in AU. Everyone else sells one of these three.

    Much discussion in this FP5 thread. https://forum.fairphone.com/t/3g-network-closure-australia

    Despite what people say the phone works and has all requirements for the network, VoLTE calling and emergency calling. The telcos tho don't want to take a risk with "unknown" modems. So they disable network.
