You can use NO SIM card with a blacklisted Android phone inside the country it was blacklisted. A phone gets blacklisted when it is reported as lost or stolen to a Wireless Network by its original owner, when there are pending contract bills, when the phone is involved in illegal activities and in case, the original owner asks for a replacement through Warranty or Insurance Plan.
When a device is not blacklisted we referred to it as CLEAN. - Contract status Check:

Where can I find a HUAWEI IMEI Check Tool?
My favorite IMEI Check provider is UnlockSpector because they are a verified IMEI check company with authorized access to IMEI Databases and moreover they can help you unlock your HUAWEI if you are not sure how or if you are too busy dealing with the Wireless Network or a third-party Android Unlock company.
You can also find a few free IMEI Check services but unfortunately, none of them can provide you with original data because simply they don’t have access to IMEI DB.
