You see, here in the ewe ess of aaay, cell phone providers simlock their phones so only their SIM cards work on them.  They justify this by their &#8220;subsidy&#8221;, a discount of the overly inflated MSRP of the phone that they provide to you so you can be indentured with a two year contract.<br \/>\nHowever, the iPhone is NOT subsidized.  You&#8217;re paying full boat for it and it&#8217;s STILL SIM locked?  That&#8217;s very wrong&#8230;and the only thing that&#8217;s holding me back from taking the plunge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To start off, these are probably the most crappiest photos you will ever see on this blog.
