I'm not familiar. I understand the activate now for a discount (& be locked to that carrier) or pay full price for an unlocked phone.

So is flexpay payments instead of just 1 payment? And then...

So it's legal to lock an unsubsidized phone?

That's not what I was referring to. Somebody mentioned purchasing a phone outright & once a SIM is inserted it becomes locked.

If a phone (any phone) is purchased not tied to any carrier. How does a carrier have a right to lock it? The carrier didn't subsidize it.
