Unlocking Your Phone? Not Allowed

(1/28/2013) Now, it is illegal to unlock your cell phone. The software coming with your cell phone is not what you bought and owned, it belongs to the wireless service provider.  As the report says "This is about carriers keeping people on their networks and squeezing the after-market for phone sales." They don't want the resale markets encroaching their profit. Let us mourn for the loss of consumers.
