For current and future Xiaomi users that have purchased from our website. We want to assure you that Xiaomi and the Australian Telcos are working to restore their whitelist to gain full connectivity in the near future. For Redmi and Poco Series. (NO EXACT DATE YET), as it is up to the Telco’s that however long it may take.

This applies mainly to devices purchased after December 2023. Once the process is finalized, customers will restore seamless network access to local Australian 4G and 5G networks. (4G includes VoLTE/LTE).

To confirm whether your Xiaomi phone will work or not, compare the first 8 digits of your phone’s IMEI 1 number with the following TAC codes:

86036306, 86250706, 86719807, 86796407, 86603807, 86394307, 86135307, 86550407, 86867307, 86413607, 86679707, 86869407, 86628007, 86374007, 86448607, 86443307, 86745706, 86271706, 86436806, 86812906, 86749306, 86074406, 86753406, 86516707, 86943907, 86747507, 86021607, 86782606, 86462506, 86094906, 86111406, 86467407, 86101707, 86237707, 86176907, 86195507, 86134307, 86938007, 86159307, 86631607, 86331807, 86712707, 86459506, 86845106, 86874107, 86152007, 86730207, 86208607, 86440507, 86441107, 86221006, 86869907, 86069807, 86506307, 86415107, 86768007, 86016107, 86015307, 86316807, 86217207, 86808207, 86833307, 86709807, 86847707, 86462907, 86586507, 86624907.

For the current, Xiaomi Redmi Note 13, Redmi Note 13 Pro, Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus, Poco F6 and Poco F6 Pro are all in the TAC codes provided by Xiaomi.

If you own any Xiaomi devices and do not fall into these TAC codes, we regret to inform you that your device may not work, regardless of whether it is currently working. As one or the other Telco may work but others may not.

This action is solely implemented by Australian Telco providers, not by the phones sold by Spectronic Australia. While phones have full network capabilities, they are unfortunately restricted by Telcos.
