A man in Australia died after his old Samsung phone couldn’t reach emergency services due to software issues on TPG’s network.
A man in Australia died after his Samsung phone failed to connect to emergency services on TPG’s network, despite no network outages.
TPG confirmed the issue stemmed from outdated software on older Samsung devices incompatible with emergency calls, affecting models like the Galaxy S6, Note 5, and various A and J series phones.
The company, which operates under Vodafone and Lebara brands, was informed five days after the incident by NSW Ambulance and has since urged affected users to update or replace their devices, warning of potential blocking after five weeks.
The incident follows similar issues on other networks linked to a prior Optus outage and has prompted new federal rules requiring real-time outage reporting to emergency services and regulators.
