Australian Xiaomi users ALERT !!!

[chrishoney]

Yesterday in Australia 3G network was switched off resulting in that all phones that didn't have volte running could no longer send or receive phone calls. This includes most Xiaomi phones!! There is a fix however. By putting the following into you phone dial area the code *#*#86583#*#* will clear the way!!
Hope this helps as it has caused extreme anguish with thousands of users in Australia

You must be using some very old Xiaomi phones in Aus because for some time now they've all been at least 4g, compatible.
My old Redmi Note 10 Pro from 2021 was 4g and there was a 5g version also.

My phone a Xiaomi Redmi Note 11pro +5G is very new and covers 4 and 5G !! However it failed to SWITCH to the higher bandwidth because it didn't have VoLTE installed, this is the reason not the phone!
