A small number of mobile phones can get locked and blacklisted in New Zealand under One NZ; when that happens, users tend to think their devices are now fully unusable, when in reality, there's a way to clean this report without the carrier's help. Today, we are going to explain a bit more about this unique and excellent solution called ESNDoctor, so you can unlock your device with One NZ IMEI and start again like nothing happened.
Why One NZ blacklists phones and what you can do
One NZ (formerly Vodafone NZ) can blacklist phones for several reasons; it is basically related to security, fraud prevention, or the recovery of lost or stolen devices. So, in other words, the reporting database was created to safeguard the devices and prevent someone else from using them without authorization from the network provider.
If your phone is blacklisted, you can either attempt to recover your mobile network with One NZ or explore online alternatives to remove the report. Other than that, there's not much you can do since the mobile device is now unable to connect to any network carrier inside New Zealand and even some other countries... If you don't want to clean it, then you can use it for offline activities, and if you need internet, you can connect it to your Wi-Fi and leave it there.
Security Protection

Recovery Options

Alternative Usage
Even blacklisted devices can still function for offline activities and Wi-Fi connectivity
Who is eligible to request an IMEI removal?
Only the person who bought the device and is seen as the account holder can unlock a One NZ mobile smartphone from the reporting database. In order to make sure of this, NZ will ask for a verification process using the ID, account details, receipt, and IMEI number. If it matches, then they will automatically remove the report after a couple of days and restore the mobile network connection.
What happens if I'm not the original owner?
If you're not the original owner of a blacklisted phone on One NZ, your options are pretty limited... If you don't have valid proof of purchase, your unlock request can be rejected, and since you didn't make the original blacklist report, they don't have a way to ensure you got the phone in a legitimate way. However, you still have a good online alternative to remove this annoying network lock, as ESNDoctor can help you at any time in a matter of minutes by following an easy step-by-step process that doesn't require a receipt or ID!
Can a SIM network unlock code remove a blacklist report?
Carrier-locked phones tied to a specific network are not the same as reported devices, meaning that using a SIM network unlock PIN won't change or remove a blacklist status. Since the IMEI report locks the connection to all mobile carriers, the unlock SIM code you get to use a SIM card from another carrier will be basically unusable until you resolve the IMEI situation and clear any previous restriction with One NZ.
SIM Network Unlock
Carrier Restriction Only
Allows your phone to work with different carriers' SIM cards. This only removes carrier-specific locks, not blacklist reports.
Blacklist Report
IMEI Database Block
Prevents device from connecting to ANY mobile network. This is a separate security measure that affects all carriers.
Important: A SIM unlock code will be useless if your device is blacklisted. You must resolve the IMEI blacklist issue first before the SIM unlock can work with other carriers.
Does the unlocking process change by brand?
No, the process of unlocking New Zealand blacklisted devices is the same for all brands and manufacturers, whether they are Android or iOS. Since the network lock is the same, for the network unlock process, you need to complete the same steps and provide the same information. The only thing that will change is the carrier and whether there's an unlock fee or not... but if you use ESNDoctor, then you don't need to worry about that at all.

Can a One NZ blacklisted phone be unlocked with just the IMEI?
Technically YES, but not through official methods
Official Provider Method
Requires More InfoYour current provider will ask for additional requirements to validate your identity and unlock your mobile phone
Alternative Tools
IMEI OnlyFind the right tool that can complete this process with just a few pieces of information
It's complicated, but technically, you can unlock your phone with just the IMEI number. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that it can't really be done through official methods, as your current provider will still ask for more requirements in order to validate your identity and unlock your mobile phone... so if you want to do this process, you need to find the right tool for it.
Now, another thing to keep in mind is that the tool you use needs to be compatible with your phone and that the unlock instructions are easy to understand and follow. Also, don't forget to make sure it works in New Zealand, as otherwise, you can get stuck in the process and lose time. If you still haven't found it or don't see any convincing ones, remember that you have ESNDoctor available 24/7 and can complete this process with just a few pieces of info.
