Will be interesting to see if this applies to Vodafone, as I haven't seen any messages despite using an imported phone. And the messages I received from Telstra were somewhat justified as the phone is missing B28, but that's more of a coverage issue.

A shitshow in any case. VoLTE should really have been a core part of 4G and not this tacked on proprietary upgrade.

They're totally gonna get fucked by themselves .

The big telcos downstream to other companies that offer sim-only accounts (eg: i have a dodo acct, they resell optus). So they either kill the entire lucrative resell part of the business, or inevitably face court because telling someone "oh this phone doesn't work because you no buy from optus" when a slew of other people are literally using the same self-provided model on their network will be exposed as the massively artificial pile of shit that it is.
