Most U.S. carriers have been more lenient about unlocking phones than others, but starting today they are all mandated to provide unlocking once a customer’s contract is up. Legislation put in place by the Federal Communications Commission back in 2013 takes full effect today, and carriers must comply with new policies on unlocking. Phones on prepaid plans will be eligible for unlocking no later than 1 year after initial activation, consistent with reasonable time, payment or usage requirements. Customers must also be notified when their phones are eligible for unlocking, and carriers must respond to unlock requests within two business days. AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, Bluegrass Cellular and U.S. Cellular are all on board for unlocking customs phones. Are you happy with your carrier ? Would you switch ?
