I miss France where telecoms are required by law to unlock all phones for free after 6 months on contract.

Most US carriers will unlock it within 6 months as well if you call and ask them to do so. I've gotten both TMO and ATT to unlock my S2 and Blackberry.

^How come instructions to do this aren't easily available to find online? Shouldn't there just be a special key sequence for every model of phone that people can just put online? Paying for someone to push a few buttons is shit.

Really? Good to know, although I haven't had a US phone in like 6 years. Will they do this for iphones or is apple a bitch about it?

I don't know if they will do the iphone within 6 months but I do know they will do it when your 2 year contract is up.

Just got my 5 in hand. So far it's pretty sweet. LTE is considerably faster as well this thing is shockingly light compared to my 4.
