      I don’t. However, I do have a search engine, and I plugged in “fairphone 6 australia”.

      https://old.reddit.com/r/fairphone/comments/1lmcz1l/fp6_australia/

      You can view the full list of what Fairphone devices are IMEI/TAC blocked on each Australian network at https://isthisphoneblocked.net.au/device-brands/fairphone

      The Fairphone 6 (TAC: 35901961) is within the Optus Checker Database (3 June 2025 Dataset) and is (currently) “Device is NOT Blocked”, it just doesn’t have a name.

      The Fairphone 6 is also not in Telstra’s TAC Checker database but it’s most likely not blocked (not blacklisted), however it’s likely not officially Whitelisted (“Not Blocked”) either, so it could be blocked at any time if the telco thinks its ‘incompatible’.

        Hey guy maybe youre having a bad day or whatever but when you say something like “thats a dumb question easily answerable on google” you invalidate the asker and it’s just… unnecessarily snarky.

        If you think a question is poorly considered, you can just ignore it.

        Besides which, it’s the internet. We’re all just here passing the time of day, thinking thoughts and asking questions and engaging in supposition.

        If no one is allowed to ask anything already answered on reddit, what is even the point of lemmy?
