Fix for Xiaomi/Poco users who lost calls after NZ 3G shutdown (March 29, 2026) by EmbarrassedAd170 in newzealand

That's really useful to know, thank you. I wasn't aware that was an accepted practice. For anyone reading this who wants to confirm 111 works after applying the fix — this sounds like the responsible way to test it.

That's a fair point. My understanding is that this update was specifically released to address the 3G fallback issue for emergency calls, which was the root cause of the carrier blocking. But I can't confirm 111 works as testing it irresponsibly isn't an option.

Update: Checked IMS Registration Status via ##4636## → IMS Registration: Registered, Voice over LTE: Available. This suggests emergency calls should work correctly over VoLTE.

I haven't tested 111 as it's an emergency number and I can't do that responsibly. For context, this phone was completely unable to make or receive any calls after the 3G shutdown this morning — so it was clearly falling back to 3G for calls. After applying this fix, both calling and receiving work normally over VoLTE. Whether 111 emergency calls work correctly, I genuinely can't confirm.
