About the newly minted agreement for NZ mobile carriers to block stolen phones across all carriers with one phonecall.

I'm quite pleased about this, especially after a breakin earlier in the year.  However, I'm disappointed to hear that there isn't there be some sort of process to inform owners and/or police when someone tries to use the stolen phone with their SIM.   Without this, it only cements the fact that one will never get the phone back. I can already hear some grumps already saying, "Why should they??"  Because it's the right thing to do.
