I don't understand why people give so much power to SIM companies to own/lock smartphones of users. You should be able to just swap in/out physical SIMs or activate/deactivate esims whenever you want. Tying a device to a provider seems so funny to me

How else are we going to be able to make calls, send text and have celular data?

By paying for SIM services? Regardless, I'm talking about the extra control you give to these companies like locking your device and making it a complicate task to unlock or even shift carrier

I agree if I am paying 1100 for a phone it should not be sim locked but if I am paying 0 for the phone, the carrier is paying the 1100 and is crediting me 33 dollars each month towards the 1100 they paid then there should be a way for them to force me to keep my service with them and that is the sim lock
