- nottorp 3y agoHmm I can take my physical sim out and plug it into any other phone over here. The only exception is when the destination phone is carrier locked by a contract, but they have to unlock it for a nominal fee at the end (I think it was a few eur, or maybe last time they didn't charge me anything.). Are you referring to the fact that no one buys contract free phones in the US?
- ratg13 3y agoThey are referring to SIM locks. ATT locks the sim to the phone so it can't be transferred if you got a subsidised phone from them. All depends on if someone set this flag when creating your SIM and if you took their discount when buying their service.
