Yes, you read that correctly. Atleast thats what TracFone is arguing in court right now. Are they really that stupid? I mean come on, some people have used terrorism to scare people into giving up a lot of things but this one takes the cake.
Pre-paid cell phone company TracFone is arguing in court that allowing people to unlock their cell phones and use them with competing carriers will support terrorism.
This is getting beyond ridiculous. They should be fined for making such a stupid claim and wasting people’s time. There are a lot of reasons why people might want to unlock their phone and none of them support terrorism. Here are a couple:
* I want to use my phone in another country, I will have to unlock it before I can use it. (Yes had to get this done multiple times)
* Want to switch carriers. Oh you mean I should stick with a crappy service and pay more than I should if I want to use the phone I bought and like?
I am sure there are more but its late and I can’t think of any right now… Feel free to add any you might think of.
