If you obtain a $600 phone for $200 on the condition that you sign a two year contract, then jail break the phone and start doing things the contract doesn't allow, then the phone company considers that a breach of contract. What they're trying to do is to get the police to enforce these private contracts so they won't have to bear the expense of taking you to court. Pardon the hyperbole but this really is pure fascism.
Ah....so.....in order to combat what they “deem” to be unlawful activity....they decided to participate in unlawful activity in order to enforce, via unlawful actions, their definition of “unlawful activity”. Got it.
That sounds about right and how things go in this Obama Bizarro World.

Here is my logic kicking in. If you bought a $600 phone for $200 with a “locked in carrier” and then you somehow unlocked it and switched to another carrier before your contract was up, the original carrier could and should then just bill you $400 on your “final bill”. No “law” should need to be passed for something this basic and simple.
But then, everything is now back@ssward from what it should be...logically.

Maybe the carriers should think about holding up THEIR end of the contract.
Ya know, like providing service that actually works?
