alasta:

So if a New Zealander travels to Australia with a normal iPhone or Samsung then it will work? There is nothing on OneNZ's web site about Australia having a blanket ban on NZ handsets, so it sounds like this is something that would affect tech enthusiasts rather than a typical consumer? 



We're in a safer boat to most countries with Samsung and apple having an Australasian stronghold and same sister arms. But it's not guaranteed if you got it elsewhere. And the check beforehand is easy

Iphones appear to be OK as long as not old and overseas sourced (no global mode) to get the global volte profiles with whatever IOS that was included in.

Reading between the lines it looks like VF au might be giving a grace period on roam contact at arrival and a warning. But the other 2 say blanket byebye.

Is there a site somewhere I can enter my model number (or IMEI) to check if it would fully work for roaming?

There's this one, but I can't vouch for its accuracy (I see it has "old" in the URL):

Optus point you to the AMTA one above. (But without the old, and it now redirects to that URL)

 

They seem to want people to TXT 3 to a hot number to see if it responds (the irony when you might be blocked already...) instead.

 

Probably a limitation of the list being dynamically updated as they are swamped with requests from the overseas markets?

Thanks, tried this and it worked - apparently I'll be all good after the 3G closure 🙂

Linux: @PolicyGuy SparkNZ restrict / block WiFi calling outside of NZ

 

 

For people using those operators with VoWIFI enabled for roaming, will it work though?

 

Also, I'd guess most phones using VoWIFI would work on VoLTE anyway.
