I agree with you . Now, unlocking phones are legal . US break the petition "unlocking phones becomes illegal" . For what purpose people wants to unlock their cell phones? Only to use with other carriers . Its not a crime . If anyone wants to switch over to one country to other, they requires unlocking process . Some of them directly did it through their carriers or they bought unlocking servcie from any of the online sites like Prounlocking.com . Their only intention is to swap from one network to other . Anyway, i'm going to unlock my phone soon to use with Canadian carriers .
