It's been like this since 2014. I actually wonder how many of the people using this guy's service simply didn't know that they could get their phones unlocked for free from the carrier (assuming they were actually paying their bills for their postpaid subsidized locked phone).
- u801e 4y agoThe fact that carriers are still selling locked phones is really strange. Imagine if Verizon, Comcast, or Cox sold locked Dell or Lenovo laptops at a discount and only allowed you to connect to the internet using their ISP service.
