But it's not $10 because being locked to a major US carrier doesn't depress the price significantly.

- xp84 2y agoIndeed. Anecdotally I’ve seen in a few places where the going rate for one carrier or another is actually a bit higher than unlocked because people aren’t that well-informed and think “I need a Verizon phone cuz I’m on Verizon.” Which was pretty universally true in the USA 15 years ago.
