They shouldn’t restrict the use of a iPhone if I am not longer want services with such companies that apple do business with such carriers
iPhone 7, iOS 14
Phones which are locked to a specific network are usually cheaper than if purchased unlocked. Also it ensures that you’ll have to stay with the cellular provider after the contract has expired.
Most providers offer network unlocking either for free or for a small fee once the contract has expired.
What the carriers should do and what they can legally get away with doing are two different things.
The carriers do not have a financial interest in allowing a phone to use another carriers network, therefore, if they don't have to unlock it, they won't.
Carriers refusing to unlock iPhone , cause the fact if I no longer want their service that way force everyone to buy another phone , matter of fact even if is not a contract involved, let’s say a prepaid
You'll have to talk to whatever carrier you used about that.
Yes they do a financial interest , cause they all have competition
If I own my own phone , why depend in companies to unlock the phone , why companies locking phone after no longer provide service with such companies
