It will be interesting to see how carriers react to the option, though. As it stands, they are happy to help themselves to your location and usage data (much like ISPs do), having a handset that could turn that money-making flow on and off might cause at least some to refuse to take you on as a customer.
- Zelmor 8y agoYou cannot do that in the EU. Also, phones communicate imei and other sim information, not OS information on the header plane during handshakes with the towers.
- mike-cardwell 8y agoWhat kind of crazy country do you live in where the carriers can choose whether or not to have you as a customer based on the device you use?
- kop316 8y agoThere's plenty that are "bring your own device". From a carriers standpoint, switching off the basband is the same as turning it off, so I would rralpy doubt they could figure out the difference, much less do anything about it.
