3 hours agoVerizon gets FCC permission to end 60-day phone unlocking rule
Following this decision, Verizon must follow a looser set of guidelines set by the CTIA wireless trade group, which says carriers should only unlock a customer's postpaid phone after their contract is up, when they finish paying off the device, or following the payment of an early termination fee. Meanwhile, the CTIA's code says carriers should unlock prepaid phones "no later than one year after initial activation."
