Unlocking Cell Phones Now Illegal in the US
Posted by Uncle Jimbo on 2013-01-27 11:49:34
I am not sure how this impacts the traveler who likes to swap out the SIM card in their phone when they go to Germany, but apparently unlocking a cell phone in the US officially became illegal yesterday. Comments? Does the illegality matter much? http://gizmodo.com/5978982/unlocking-your-phone-is-illegal-starting-tomorrow
