[QUOTE="fleurya, post: 433842, member: 22866"] No. There is no law against unlocking a phone and using it on another provider's network. In fact, I've been hearing comments alluding to some kind of legislation that protects people from being prosecuted for this kind of thing. Many people make a business out of unlocking phones as a service or unlocking and reselling phones. This was really huge during the early RAZR boom when they were limited to providers too. I guess, as far as the communication function of a cell phone and network go, it's pretty basic and dependent on the network and the radio in the phone, so as long as those are compatible, it doesn't matter much what phone it is. The downside is other phone-specific functions may not work if their tied to a certain provider, such as the visual voicemail function of the iPhone. [/QUOTE]
