Incredible that Px/ FF (claim they) cannot fix this!

I am also still waiting on a security update for my fairphone 5 which is on proximus.

Supposedly they need to do some kind of testing on the firmware to make sure that it works with their network and that's why the updates are delayed. Meanwhile other customers of if you took out the SIM card of the phone and factory reset it; a lot of those have already gotten the update.

Fairphone is aware of this issue and supposedly can't solve it
