Why All Phones Should Be Unlocked, Even iPhone
The Apple iPhone has sharply raised consumer awareness about the issue of locked cell phones. Most U.S. carriers profit from consumer ignorance about the locking issue. But the iPhone controversy is changing all that. Millions of cell phone users are suddenly talking about cell phone locking and asking themselves, “Why is my phone locked?” And that’s a good thing. We cell-phone users should demand fully unlocked cell phones and reward carriers who provide unlocked phones with our business. And carriers need to prepare for the future. Nonphone SIM card devices, widespread use of multiple-SIM phones and multiple phone SIMS are all coming. And customers will demand FREEDOM AND CHOICE.
