Wow. Two FP posts in a night. Paste of my comment.
Faiphone is being frog marched out of Australia. Each telco is shutting it down and blocking IMEIs. Sucks for the people that imported them.
Cant even use it as data only. So unless you use it as puerly on WiFi it's going to landfill. 😔.
TBH wifi only is what I'd like to have. I just want a device I can hold in my pocket without worrying about cell service, but still call a rideshare because I don't drive and those stupid services don't do a request-by-phone. I'd ditch it entirely if I could.
