Should is a matter of opinion. You could do so, if the better phone service matters that much to you.

You could be right.
It's probably a big driver in current and recent worldwide migration patterns, people looking for a better phone deal.

You only approve of being rude if it's done in a passive/aggressive way?

Maybe you two should take this outside? No need for the rest of us to go through pages of this.

Of course it is. Look at immigration patterns, virtually everyone is moving from a place with poor/no mobile tel/data service to somewhere with better comms

Hmmm, no, thinking about it - people are moving to where there are more reality TV shows, some people go to the extreme of moving just to appear on one

So I'll do all the work, but when it comes to "pushing the button" I'll make someone else do it so I didn't unlock my own smartphone. Someone else did it

Official White House response to petition to explicitly legalize unlocking cell phones and tablets:
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/res...hone-unlocking

Quote:
The White House agrees with the 114,000+ of you who believe that consumers should be able to unlock their cell phones without risking criminal or other penalties. In fact, we believe the same principle should also apply to tablets, which are increasingly similar to smart phones. And if you have paid for your mobile device, and aren't bound by a service agreement or other obligation, you should be able to use it on another network. It's common sense, crucial for protecting consumer choice, and important for ensuring we continue to have the vibrant, competitive wireless market that delivers innovative products and solid service to meet consumers' needs.
