Ezra pass. Thanks
I am in. Still brandishing my iPhone 5 and at this pace I don't need iPhone 14 for another 15 years. So 1 year of waiting for it to unlock is perfectly fine..
No and no.
Seriously, how is it even legal or fair that every carrier can mess with their phone unlock policy whenever they feel like it?
It's like they're doing their own thing behind our backs, making customers jump through hoops that feel as complicated as filing taxes. Come on, FCC—it's your job to protect us from these shady, every day changing rules.
Set one clear unlock policy for all carriers, and let the competition be fair instead of this circus 🎪.

And why should people care?

Why are you complaining? They are subsidizing the phone and recouping the cost through the service fee. If you don't like that, there are plenty other providers with different phone subsidy schemes, or pay the actual price of the phone and go with whichever service provider you like.
Wow, really?
You're defending carriers for locking people into their ridiculous policies just because they subsidize phones?
That's such a weak excuse. These companies are making billions, and yet they still feel the need to trap customers with confusing, every day changing rules.
Not everyone can just cough up the full price of a phone or switch providers like it's no big deal.
The FCC needs to step in and stop this nonsense and enforce a 60 days unlock policy on everyone—customers deserve better than being jerked around by greedy corporations and if Verizon's MVNOs can compete with deals on that policy I don't see why the rest shouldn't.

Better yet, the government should step in and mandate everyone a free unlocked iphone from these companies every year. After all, they make billions.
A company wants to make sure you actually use their heavily discounted phone with their service instead of pocketing it and running. Clearly the FCC should drop everything and fight for your right to abuse promos.
