- lotsofpulp 4y agoI intentionally phrased it that way to show why there needs to be no legislation about locking phones to a carrier. The market is offering people the choice of locked and unlocked phones. Everyone can make their own choice. The government already requires the lock to be temporary. So then banning phone locks is the same as banning people from being able to exchange their freedom to use a different mobile network for a lower purchase price.
