I can only assume that message is because the FP 5 is not compatible with VoIP (not strictly related to the 3G cutoff). If so, that means it is actually unable to call emergency services, and is therefore unable to be used safely in Australia.
The emergency services in Australia have recently switched to VoIP only, and want to eliminate the risk of someone using a non VoIP capable phone as their only phone. This appears to be a general safety issue, not specifically targeted at Fairphone.
The FP 6 does support VoIP, so it should have no issues.

Solar panels combined with House batteries or Vehicle to grid is cheaper and more reliable than a backup generator, and in many cases, is even cheaper than using energy from the grid.
The majority of materials in each battery and solar panel can be recycled into new batteries and solar panels at end of life (often after 25+ years), so the raw resources are only needed once.
Most new batteries don’t use rare or controversial materials.


“I need privacy not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are.”


The problem is that I’m not capable of imagining the depravities that keep happening before I hear about them.


It’s always the ones you most expect.
If it’s an improvement, it’s worth doing.
I can’t control what the 100 corporations do, but I can control what I do. I choose to make as much of a difference as I can.
