Quick post today, readers may remember that in the last post that the 112 test was today, so i hope you all set your alarms for this post!
imsd emergency calling works! end to end tested on the live network!
I called 112 in the designated time slot and had full two way voice with the operator, plus NAW data, sadly the AML did not work.
The Netherlands doesn’t use the text based AML my code had, ive send an email thanking them for the test and requesting information on the data based AML aswell as a possibility for a future second test when that works.
I do have to say that i can only say this works for the netherlands, i can tell the emergency path works in the modem and it took the genuine correct path, i can’t guarantee it. I’m not sure what the risk is that it works here but not elsewhere but i think its right to state this.
Before doing the first test i was so nervous with my phone hovering the call button but im glad it all worked out in the end, the operators were really kind too.
On the slight chance that any 112 operators happen to read this, Thank you very much!
LMAO
guess what just showed up in my company mailbox?
Hi,
I came across Catcrafts recently and have really enjoyed following the Fairphone 6 PostmarketOS work — the post on getting VoLTE calls with working audio was a great read, and the Epictetus quote was a perfect touch.
Mauricio here — I lead growth at Audioread. We loved Catcrafts so much that we turned it into audio, for free. Your last few articles are already narrated. Here’s “imsd 112 emergency calling end to end tested successfully! (Linux phone VoLTE)” read by our best premium voice:
Oh really, “Mauricio”, nice “—” you got there, wondered how these ended up in your totally hand written text because you enjoy my posts so much
we can even clone your voice, so the audio actually sounds like you reading it.
yeah no thanks.
I can’t make this up, it gets even funnier.
I downloaded their sample and put it on my server.
Seems like my instance doesn’t like audio, here’s the link:

Listen to 00:10
Sounds like Anubis is working then? :D
lol. Don’t skip to the timestamp though! The build up made it funnier imo
Lmfao
Holy hell, that’s funny
Oh it’s nice you’re getting some recognition from what seems to be OH HELL NO
Thanks a lot for what you’re doing - just ordered a Fairphone 6+ because of your work !!
I have just received word from Luca that the image is compatible with the 6+, please let me know know how it goes!
Will do, when the phone gets here in a week or two !!
Awesome! Did you test this without a SIM inserted as well?
How does the test work? Do you give them their number or do they just allocate you in a slot where they think not much is going on anyway?
Really cool that they are doing this.
No i have not tried without a SIM, and im not sure that is possible
When asking for the test you need to provide the number you’re calling with, a SIM-less phone doesn’t have a number.
Maybe there is an option for it if you ask specifcally for a SIML-less test, but i had to provide a number.
I gave them the information and the date i wanted and they responded with this:
Beste Jorijn,
De testtijdvakken zijn van 9:15 en 10:15 of 13:30 en 14:15.
Graag hoor ik van je welk testtijdvak je wilt gebruiken.
Translation:
Dear Jorijn,
The test time slots are 9:15 and 10:15 or 13:30 and 14:15.
Please let me know which test time slot you’d like to use.
I don’t know how they got those slots, but pretty much yes, i gave them the info and they let me pick a slot.
Interesting, maybe a thing for the next test?
I assume they get some sort of identifier/metadata in emergency calls (IMSI?) in case no SIM is available?
Unless I completely forgot how telephony works a simless phone doesn’t have an IMSI either right?
They could see the IMEI maybe? Maybe you ment that.
Yep, IMEI was what I meant!
Loving these updates and the work you are putting in. I just wish these phones weren’t so disgustingly expensive so that I could grab one and try it all out. Maybe in the future!
