They'll unlock it very quickly. The techs aren't legal geniuses.
- prepend 2y agoI’d like to see a video of this working as it seems improbable. Techs are legal geniuses but seems like they’d have a script that boils down to “so sue us.”
- 1123581321 2y agoI doubt this. Unlocks can be done by T4 support but legal threats will kick you to a separate system that will not respond to requests that quickly.
- zrobotics 2y agoUnfortunately not. I'm currently embroiled in a complaint with my state's public utilities commission with Verizon. Verizon's corporate reps 'upgraded' my grandfathered plan without my consent while switching devices, and their phone reps truly don't care about the threat of regulatory bodies. So even with an actionable legal threat and a case number, their phone support has not at all been responsive.
- mmmlinux 2y agoAh so this is the real reason verizon has been pushing people to upgrade and sending new boxes.
