I can’t even count how many times I’ve seen perfectly good phones just become e-waste because of carrier locks. There’s been a few times I wanted to buy a used phone I saw on offer up because they were cheap but I didn’t because it’s locked to T-Mobile or Verizon. Phones are built to just become e-waste and it’s such a fuckin waste of resources. I didn’t even get into the fact the bootloader is almost always locked too. It’s so fuckin dumb

    I already called. They won’t unlock it

    The phones with an unlocked bootloader a way more expensive unless you buy something a few years old. At least from my experience looking into it.

    I didn’t know I could make it not not visible lol. I think I’m gonna keep it like this for now.
