Of course we were not far enough in the contract to renew to get a new phone at a discounted price & refused to pay full price. Long story short, my wife recieved a phone from a friend that was used for the Verizon network (Razr V3) We took the phone to the store & the clerk charged us $20 to activate - no questions asked & activated the phone immediately. I must add the phone works just fine. I guess it all depends on the day. My wife recently had damage to her phone on the carrier she is with now , NTELOS.

After you fulfill your [contract] agreement and the phone is yours, why should that phone be useless to you? Why should it be locked to a specific provider?” Why does it feel like you are marrying the company instead of buying the product. I have never unlocked a phone but I think the concept of using the same phone on multiple networks should be possible for everyone. It should not be such a hassle especially when most companies have alot of the same phones. It sucks and its not right. I totally agree with the last statement made,
