ROG Phone 5S (Global)
Latest Rolled Out Firmware
Not Rooted
Occurrences Every Time I Try To Place A Call On 4g
SO the ASUS and Aus VoLTE saga continues with no answers. I haven't found much hope or information that this phone will still be a phone after the 3G cutoff in Australia. I have spoken to a representative from my telco company who lied and said it will be fine (untrue as I've already tested the device's capability to make VoLTE calls and failed every time, not sure how it would suddenly have a different outcome in one and a half months). Mind you this functionality has worked just fine in both the US and Hong Kong respectively. Those are the only other two places I've had experience with it.
BUT I had another representative (from an ASUS call centre) claim that the phone will work but strictly on Australia's Vodafone carrier. I'm not sure if it's true but I have seen it in other forums so I guess it corroborates what I've seen but I'm not too sure I trust it - I'd like some affirmation of this.
There's going to be a LOT of people looking for answers in the next few months as to what they can do with their smartphones and just become WiFi/Data Tablets.
I'm also interested to know if any ROG mobile device after the ROG Phone 5 will have this problem if I decide to update to a newer model, I definitely wouldn't as of now with 0 assurance that it'll be anything more than a gaming tablet.
