You're really advancing the theory that locking it recovers its value in the hands of the defaulter so they can pay the creditor? But you can't sell the phone for its full price. Right. And guess what. You're liable for your debts either way. Hurrah. But hey if the phone is stolen they get a new customer to bilk while they bilk the poor victim of theft at the same time. You only lock because you know you are not competitive on price or service but have a slick sales technique. Lock 'em in so when they wake up they're toast. Network locking is foul, deceptive, dishonest and knowingly so. Hitch your wagon to that by all means...
