Carriers have an escape clause fee in their contracts. If you cancel your contract, you get hit with the fee. I don't think phones should be locked to any carrier. Instead change the contract rules. If you cancel after the cooling off period and in the first 30 days you pay (blah), and every month there after it's (blah) - (something)*number of Months. Only if the phone was subsidized by the contract, of course. I say this as someone who needs to be able to change out sims when I travel.
