Due to the VoLTE end-ro-end encryption from your phone (UE) to the home operator, some countries (at least Sweden) will force downgrade inroaming users to circuit switched voice (2G/3G) in order to do lawful intercept (LI).
- franga2000 2y agoIs this done for everyone or just people under wiretap orders? I don't see why the network wouldn't be able to downgrade selectively since phones automatically fail over and the VoLTE service could simply refuse to authenticate or whatever.
