In this guide, we will mention all you need to know so you can be informed and finally clean your IMEI to unlock the full potential of your device for free!
Are all the Blacklist Databases the Same?
The concept can be the same, but depending on the country (in this case Netherlands), the regulations for reporting or unlocking devices may be different. The carriers can also have an independent blacklist for users that don’t comply with their policies. Still, the same restrictions will apply no matter where you are. However, there is still an international database, as at least 45 countries are involved with it, that can register an IMEI if needed.
How can I make sure a Device is not Blacklisted?
The first step is to find the IMEI number, and for that, you can look for it in the settings—for some iOS devices, you can get it on iCloud—the SIM tray, the original box, or by dialing *#06# (this number works for both iOS and Android phones in the Netherlands). After you have this number, you can check if your phone is blacklisted directly with the carrier or with an IMEI check service like IMEI.info or IMEI24.com.
Both methods will tell you if the phone was really blacklisted in this country when it was registered on the database and the reason (fraud, unpaid balance, lost, or stolen). These IMEI status tools are free services and can even be used after the phone is removed from the blacklist to ensure the smartphone is unlocked and doesn’t have more active restrictions.
Is the IMEI Number the Same on All Devices?
The IMEI (international mobile equipment identity) is unique to each Netherlands device so you won’t find two smartphones with the same IMEI code. Each part of the IMEI is composed differently, so the network carrier or the manufacturer in this country can easily identify it. Although they may look similar in some cases, they will still display different information about the phone, like the serial number, brand, cellular provider, and model.
Can a Blacklist Report Affect a SIM Unlock Code?
If the phone is blacklisted, you won’t be able to use the new SIM card, but you can still remove the blacklist report and see later what you can do about the SIM lock. If, on the other hand, the device is clean from this reporting database in the Netherlands, you will have to use a carrier check service to see if your phone is compatible with the network you want to connect to and unlock it using the IMEI number as well.
Can the Carrier help Unlock a Device Via IMEI?
Yes, the carrier (KPN, Lebara, Vodafone) is the main option to clean any device from the database. You will need to call them and explain that your phone is locked, and they will tell you how to proceed or if your device is eligible. For that, they will ask for your info and proof of ownership to complete the unlock process. If the smartphone doesn’t comply with their unlock policies, then they will let you know so you can look for other alternatives.
How to Keep Your Phone out of the Reporting Database
To keep your IMEI off this list, keep your phone always up-to-date and change your passwords frequently to avoid fraud in your name. You can also avoid this problem if your Netherlands operator can register your IMEI to keep it protected and tracked. Avoid using programs that can modify or change important elements of your settings, as they can damage your phone, void the warranty, and put your device on the blacklist.
If you have an installment plan with your carrier, try avoiding late payments and always keeping your account or contract up to date, as this will also help you avoid this lock and unlock a lot of advantages. Last but not least, in case you want to purchase a smartphone from a third party or reseller in this country, don’t forget to use an IMEI checker and validate that it has not been reported or has any issues; that way, you won’t have to deal with the report or the restrictions.
Do I need a Special OS Version to Unlock Netherlands phones?
Not at all. With this online service for iPhone and Android devices, you can unlock your phone with any OS version. You don’t need to update your phone to access our services or even the carrier tools. Even if your phone is an old model that no longer updates if you have the phone’s IMEI number and a valid email address, we can remove the report for you.
Can ESNDoctor Clean any iPhone and Android with just the IMEI Code?
