O2 UK łata podatność pozwalającą na geolokalizację użytkowników smartfonów z technologią VoLTE

Operatorzy GSM, dla poprawienia jakości rozmów, mogą wykorzystać standard VoLTE czy Voice over LTE, pozwalający na realizację połączeń głosowych z użyciem sieci 4G LTE. Zwykle do rozmów telefonicznych oraz SMSów wykorzystywane były starsze (i mniej bezpieczne) standardy jak 2G i 3G, a nowsze technologie zapewniały tylko szybszą wymianę danych. VoLTE...

Telefonieren über WLAN (WiFi-Calling/VoWiFi) verbessert die Sprachqualität & Rufaufbau, besonders bei schlechtem Mobilfunkempfang. EVS ("HD Voice Plus") sorgt für kristallklare Gespräche. Prepaid-Kunden können es auch nutzen! 📶 📞 🌐 #WiFiCalling #VoWiFi #Mobilfunk #Heise #lifehack

A #PSA for anyone living, staying, entering or even travelling to/from #Australia:

Apparently, #Australia decided to mandate it's #GSM systems to be shutdown because some #GalaxyBrainChair wanted to yeet #2G & #3G and demand everything to use #4G & #5G when in fact #VoLTE support is spotty at best and #EmergencyCalling oftentimes is explicitly hardcoded to not use #WIFIcalling or VoLTE as providing #triangulation and #LocationData via #SS7 is a desired feature when someone calls EMS, Fire Dept or the Police for help...

• So essentially #tourists and anyone who hasn't an explicitly fully VoLTE-functional device they tested and verified to also do #EmergencyCalls via VoLTE are fecked with no reception when they need it the most!

• This WILL KILL PEOPLE!!!

As much as we want to bitch about #GSM & #GPRS / #UMTS being #outdated and #inefficient, there are reasons to at least keep 2G available - ranging from lower power consumption to higher resilience in emergency situations.

• #NewZealand for example does shutdown non-#EmergencyCalls during severe #Earthquakes so that people trapped and/or in need of urgent assistance can get through to dispatch operators and everyone else has to get in line and take a number aka. use #SMS or if existing #Internet to say "I'm fine!"...

• If the Ozzies really need that juicy #UHF #SubGHz #Spectrum it's totally feasible to instead change the #allocations and reconfigure #CellularNetworks to use lesser bandwith for 2G (i.e. only keeping the absolute mininum of channels available for any service) and thus clear up space...

And to add insult to injury, Australia passed a #NorthKorea|n-alike #CellPhone #ImportBan for any device that doesn't do i.e. the bespoke proprietary garbage that i.e. #Telstra, #Vodafone and #Optus do with the #baseband modems of their #branded devices...

Seriously, which #TechIlliterate dickhead decided it's a good idea to do that #3Gshutdown in Australia without even a basic 2G network up and running at all?

• At least #Switzerland [AFAIK] still has #3G up and running (tho it would've been wiser to do it like #Germany and keep #2G as emergency fallback with it's functions like #CellBroadcast....

RANT=> Vorrei mettere totalmente al bando i sistemi OTP via SMS

Con la rete cellulare che abbiamo in Italia, e per il fatto che in molti luoghi chiusi si è schermati dal segnale mobile, di fatto crea tanto #digitaldivide ed è un modo ASSURDO e ormai fuori dal tempo per fare autenticazione

A casa la rete cellulare fa #cagare, il #wificalling ancora non è ben supportato dai gestori di fonia, e quindi quando per fare una transazione (avendo pure la mail) mi chiedono (PER FORZA) gli sms, SBROCCO 🤬

I've become a fan of #GrapheneOS since I overcame my disgust of Google and bought a used Pixel phone. @GrapheneOS is a great example of usable security.

It's easier to install and use than most other aftermarket #Android distributions I tried. And it has been a bug-free experience for me – until 1 or 2 weeks ago when the telephone stopped ringing when someone called. Phone calls did not even raise a full-screen notification any more. Only when I happend to watch the notification area was I able to see that someone is calling me. Most of the time, I only saw it when they had given up.

Then yesterday the phone finally rang again! Today, this was broken again. Until I found a workaround! All I had to do was to disable WiFi telephony – a feature I had enabled right after I installed GrapheneOS and which had seemed to worked well.

Update: According to @GrapheneOS, the annoyance I described is not related to #GrapheneOS but most likely caused by the carrier: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/113046499971181147

#WiFiTelephony #WiFiCalling #Android #bug

So the #S24Ultra has #WiFiCalling on AT&T but doesn't say it's using "AT&T Wi-Fi Calling" as the carrier. I figured this out because it has the same behavior with MMS as on my mom's #Pixel5A and my #iPhone6SPlus .

#ATT

This is new #Vodafone #WiFiCalling on #iOS 🧐

Now we know how WiFi is spelled correctly

New strategy just dropped:

Since I got WiFi calling, I no longer have to stay on the 4G network - all the time. Switched down to 2G (just for the SMS). 😇

Calls and data - via WiFi! 💯

The battery life is going to be great! 🦜💚

After an hour or so, #BoostInfinite service was restored... including #WiFiCalling. There still seems to be little concrete and official information on the root cause(s).

Along with #ATT #CellPhone service disruptions, #BoostInfinite is also heavily affected. Even after repeated attempts to enable #WiFiCalling to work around the lack of #CellService... all I see are "Provisioning failed. Please try again later" error messages.

Anyone that uses #WiFiCalling (does it matter if I specify on #ATT or a comparable network?) on #Android : If you get #spam calls from random numbers, does the #Fossify / #SimpleMobileTools dialer app work ok with the feature to only allow calls from your contacts through (as the SimpleMobileTools dialer app's description on #FDroid mentions) if using Wi-Fi Calling? I mentioned both SMT and Fossify as not everyone might be aware of both, and the feature is only mentioned on SMT dialer's page.

In its latest software update for Galaxy S24 smartphones, Samsung has introduced a new feature: Wi-Fi call recording in VoWiFi mode (Voice over Wi-Fi). This feature allows users to record calls made over Wi-Fi networks, which can be useful for capturing important information from lengthy conversations. However, it's important to note that this feature is only available in VoWiFi mode.

Voice-over Wi-Fi enables users to make calls directly over Wi-Fi, bypassing cellular networks, which can benefit areas with poor cellular coverage.

Here's how to use it: https://myelectricsparks.com/samsung-introduced-a-new-feature-wi-fi-call-recording-in-vowifi-mode/

Voice-over Wi-Fi enables users to make calls directly over Wi-Fi, bypassing cellular networks, which can be beneficial in areas with poor cellular coverage. To use the VoWiFi recording feature, users must navigate to the phone's settings menu, access the Calls option, and enable the VoWiFi call recording feature under Other Call Settings.

It's essential to exercise caution when using call recording features, especially without the consent of all parties involved, as it may raise ethical and legal concerns in some jurisdictions. Therefore, it's advisable to use such features responsibly and with careful consideration of privacy and legal implications.

Should I look into getting a new phone? I've had my #iPhone6SPlus since May 2018 which is the longest I've had a phone but the problem is headphone jacks basically don't exist unless I want to buy an #Xperia or a #Zenfone but neither of them have #WiFiCalling on #ATT and the Xperias have way too weird of an aspect ratio for me. At least the #S24Ultra has a squared-off screen and 7 years of updates, but no #HeadphoneJack. Should I do two phones like I did when I got my #Lumia830?

Anyone with knowledge on #vowifi and #telecommunications ? I can't seem to find publicly available information to debug/ enable #WiFiCalling reliably let alone carrier IMS settings for #3UK

It's quite perplexing just how undocumented this portion of our networks is.

@Dierck
Bin inzwischen selbst fündig geworden.

Die Angerufenen hatten immer eine Abgehackte Verbindung wenn ich einen Upload hatte, der die ganze Bandbreite brauchte.

Hallo,
weiß einer welche Ports man in der #fritzbox priorisieren muß, damit #WIFICalling auf dem Handy auch funktioniert wenn die Bandbreite ziemlich ausgenutzt wird?

Hey to my Google Fi friends, I have a friend that has a Galaxy A14 5G on Fi and has WiFi Calling enabled in the Fi app.

However in the Phone app in settings it doesn’t show the WiFi Calling option to enable/disable. The system software & carrier settings are all up to date and searching for it in the main Settings page comes up snake eyes as well.

Am I missing anything else to try to get this to work/show up as a option?
