Of course there is absolutely no chance this has been a situation which was overstated by Telcos that are salty about imports cutting into the profitability of their markets… Right! Right. Right?

Don’t know which country the origin guy is from, but in Australia they have been blocking “grey import” phone IMEIs because they may not work with our emergency services phone protocols. If 1 person could die from a problem not caused by the Telcos then that means a whole class of devices need to be banned…
