If you don’t want the carrier to lock your phone and give you a discount, then pay full price for it.

  My viewpoint is not that it is fair or not for the carrier doing so. But that restricting freedom from a users device and software should not be allowed. This means that if the carrier decides to sell devices via some kind of credit it cannot take away the freedoms of the user (and future owner) of the device, but the carrier can decide simply to not sell devices via some credit.

    Arguably, if it’s bought with credit, it’s not yet the user’s device. The ‘owner’, is the creditor.

      This is how a lease works not credit. If you take something on credit then you are the sole owner, you just become liable for the payment.
