Wireless carriers could be forced to ‘unlock’ phones (Canada)
- pedalpete 16y agoFrom what this article says, this would turn out to be a fairly week bill. Though I don't know what a better alternative is. With the life of a phone averaging 18 months, phones rarely outlast the contract, plus why would you want to change carriers and keep your old phone when the new carrier will give you a new subsidised phone. Sure it may benefit the few who want to take their fully paid phone to a new carrier, but I suspect this is a real minority of customers. At the same time, today I got a txt message from Telus informing me of a further increase in the rates of international txt messaging. Is Canada the only country where basic services like this are getting more expensive?
