Is there an ETA for when Vfone NZ is linking up with their worldwide networks to block blacklisted handsets? I heard it was late this year or early 2007?
It's great news for legitimate re-sellers of Vodafone handsets but it's going to be horrible for those who have dodgy phones. I am an advocate of purchasing the real-deal from approved sources even if it does cost an arm and a leg. At least it won't come back to haunt you.
Literally as soon as it goes live ALL blacklisted handsets will die NEVER to be revived. It will be a good time to get into a Vodafone franchised store...though you'd get a fair amount of slack too.
Time to resell them onto the next GSM market thats not linked to the international market. I can see a flood of cheap handsets heading to some pacific nations. (Do they use GSM? Run by Vodafone?)
