Unlock Your Phone & Don't Break A Law

[Geek-9pm]

Not a hack. It is the law now in the USA. (Almost)

Want to legally unlock your phone from its network? The US Senate says that's A-OK.  Bill passed. Now there's just niggling to sort out

Now legally unlock your phone

The five largest US wireless carriers agreed to this, but only once a user has finished paying off a two-year contract.

Without contracts we would be forcing carriers to charge full price for new phones and that would kill new phone sales.
