[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 832636, member: 199791"] Gotta love it, an unlocked phone to me is one that can be used if the carrier (say, Three) it's locked to goes down and you have a backup other-network (say, GiffGaff) SIM card, so that way you can continue to use the phone, while continuing to pay the original carrier of course!!! :confused: So what's wrong with doing that? Is it wrong to be allowed to use a phone when you need to becuase of loss of service? Or are they doing a b$kyb thing and locking everything down so you cannot use anything they supply with anything else, and also not use anything from elsewhere on their networks? :-HB All this will do is put people off contract phones, and contract phones are a lucrative source of cash for mobile companies, and less contracts, less profit, less profits in their pockets and they say [I]"oh 5h1t, we effed up!!!"[/I]... :rolleyes: If it does happen here, you can bet your youknowwhats that there'll be petitions against it, seeing as the people have the power... ^_^ [/QUOTE]
