Older but still otherwise perfectly functioning iPhone models have also stopped working. Let's not get into a platform war here.

  The original iphone SE still works fine for voLTE. That's an 8 year old device. Any older and yeah they won't work. However, Android it's not so clear since it's possible to buy a recent cheap chinese phone without the correct carrier profiles that would be falling back to 3G for calls.

    It's iPhone 6 with iOS 10 or later, and someone in a different comment is saying their XR isn't working. If we'd assume that's honest and true, then this isn't an age or practical software compatibility, but arbitrary whitelisting issue.

      > arbitrary whitelisting issue. This is what the original article is mostly furious about. The way this has been implemented by at least some of the carriers is: 1. Do we sell this device AND we know you can use VoLTE to call emergency services with this: allow 2. computah says no. So the device being capable of VoLTE and/or emergency calls VoLTE is not enough. A functionally equivalent iphone might be from an IMEI prefix that was not sold by that operator and denied even tho everything would work.
