N>> ..I used to be with a budget carrier (Boost Mobile, and Virgin Mobile
N>> before Boost took over), and you were basically locked to their service
N>> with their phones, so I'm glad I can use basically any phone now.

Og> Didn't the FCC make it manadatory for all mobile devices to be unlocked at
Og> some point?  So.. technically, you should be able to use any device today
Og> that *was* sold as locked and get that company to you give you the unlock
Og> codes?

I hadn't heard about that..  But even then, a lot of the cell phones sold by those budget phone carriers don't even have a place for a SIM card.  They're locked to the carrier and there's nothing you can really do about it, so even if there was a way to unlock those phones, I doubt it would really be useful if you can't put a different SIM card in it.
