Bill Introduced to Re-Legalize Cellphone Unlocking

Bipartisan support for a bill to basically re-legalize cellphone unlocking without the permission of the service carrier was introduced in the Senate on Thursday, with a similar bill to be introduced in the House.

"Consumers who have purchased a mobile device, and aren’t bound by a service contract, should be able to use it on another network," said Blumenthal. "This legislation is common sense, crucial for protecting consumer choice, and important for ensuring healthy competition in the market."
