After Your Cell Phone Contract Expires Now, You Can Unlock Your Phone and Use it With Any Carrier

All I can say is IT'S ABOUT TIME. People in other countries have been able to use any phone with any carrier at any time from beginning to end for decades. We in the US are in prehistoric times when it comes to cell phone practices. From the Daily Online Examiner: The House of Representatives this week passed a bill that would allow people to unlock their cell phones, in order to use the devices with their choice of wireless carriers. The Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act (H.R. 1123) aims to ensure that consumers who unlock their phones won't face prosecution.
