Why do you need to lock the phones for this? If the point is to lock customer to a subsidizing contract just do that: use the contract to enforce the lockin. What do they care if I use another sim card on the phone if I'm paying the monthly service for the duration of the contract?
- aeternum 2y agoIt often comes down to enforcement. Cellphone debt is near impossible to collect, I believe statute of limitations is only 2 years in many states. The contract is likely near worthless if sent to collections.
- markdown 2y agoDon't you have credit bureaus that serve as deterrents? ie. Nobody wants to get a horrible credit score over a phone.
- mr_toad 2y agoI doubt they unlock the phone after the subsidy expires.
- gruez 2y agoI thought FCC regulations require that phones be unlocked after 60 days? At least with straight talk it auto unlocks in 60 days https://www.tfwunlockpolicy.com/wps/portal/home https://www.tfwunlockpolicy.com/wps/portal/home
