New Zealand mobile providers will be blacklisting Samsung Galaxy Note 7's on the 18th of November, two weeks from now. New Zealand mobile providers will be using the same method what mobile providers use if a phone is stolen. You can still use the internet via wireless but not mobile data and still use apps that can work offline.
