I suspect it depends on both the network and the device. But I wanted 3 phones unlocked for a recent trip overseas (so i could buy cheap local SIM cards) and AT&T provided all the info needed free of charge. I was told that it was outside of their standard protocol, but if you were still under contract and your account was in good standing, it’s a service they commonly provide. All three unlocked, free of charge.

Just guessing that they might not be so helpful if the device wasn’t purchased from them in the first place. But it seems the info is out there for most devices either free or for a minimal charge for the codes.

Things haven’t changed.

[quote=urbanrealtor]These conversations remind me of the pot-choked discussions I used to have at the Che Cafe when I was 20. The irony that they were able to have these anti-wealth idealist conversations based upon their parents substantial incomes. Similarly, I recently commented to my libertarian friend that the only reason his wife can stay at home is that the US government overpays engineers. The only difference is the subtype of anarchism being subscribed to.

Just in case you were wondering, the discussions at the Che are still the same. My son hung out there for most of the early part of this decade, still does when he’s home from school. The same anti-wealth idealism and pro-anarchy meme continues. Not a bad thing, IMO for 20 somethings to be exploring. Some of it will stick, but they’ll get smacked in the face by reality soon enough.

History proves that government control doesn’t work yet that is the Democratic platform. Blind faith. Like a religon. Even worst then religon really because a religous person will tell you that while they can’t prove that their God exists they believe in their system out of faith whereas an socialism loving atheist will claim their belief is based on facts which is not the case.[/quote]

1. History doesn’t show that.

2. It is not the Democratic platform.

It is easy for you to promote your narrative when you ignore reality.

Failure continues.

The only thing a communist system excels at is killing people. Sort of like Islam.

Nice non-sequitor. And full of straw, as it is. If we were discussing coummumism, it might be relevant. Inaccurate, but relevant. We’re not.

Abysmal fail.
