    Not to mention the E-waste and easily preventable deaths caused by not being able to dial emergency services. This is gross negligence at best and mass murder at worst.

      emergency services is the only excuse I can think of to justify preventing phones without vo-lte from connecting.

        As I understand it, 4G and 5G standards only have VoLTE to make phone calls, and VoLTE is not truly standardised.

        So, without 2G and/or 3G, you can’t be certain any phone can make an emergency call. Even phones that are brand new 4G and 5G only phones.
