Now Google's Turning Your Phone Into A Credit Card

Most people already appreciate that unlocked cell phones help you switch carriers more easily. You can buy unlocked cell phones cheaply online (no fees or contracts), and then you can switch carriers, if, say, they change policies and limit data to 2GB/month!

But a new assortment of data shows that there may be other concerns when choosing a carrier, or deciding when to leave one using your unlocked cell phone.

It turns out, carriers store different amounts of information about you for different periods of time. Verizon seems to be the worst offender, actually storing the content of text messages, and keep IP data the longest.

T-Mobile, AT&T and Sprint all keep data for differing lengths of time. If you’re concerned, make sure you have unlocked cell phones so that you can change to the best carrier for your needs/prefrences, and since unlocked cell phones = jailbroken cell phones usually, if there’s ever an app (like Tor for phones or something) that can help ensure privacy, it probably won’t be available in official app stores so best have unlocked cell phones!

Unlocked Cell Phones Lead To Carrier Freedom

Soon AT&T will lose it’s monopoly on the iPhone, with Verizon gaining an edge in the market.

But as AT&T has pointed out (in the beginning of what looks to be some mean back-and-forth advertising), Verizon is not as fast as AT&T, and iPhone users tend to be heavy on apps and social media, meaning they have certain expectations.

On the other hand, Verizon can counter, they cover more areas, so bandwidth aside, you’re less likely to have dropped calls, and it will be easier to travel.

Not sure which carrier will come out ahead? Want to avoid the battle entirely? Switch to unlocked cell phones (or a jailbroken iPhone). Once you’ve jailbroken your iPhone, you can use it to hop networks as is the ability of unlocked cell phones.

If you are locked in a contract, then consider buying unlocked cell phones online. This allows you to  look for cheaper unlocked cell phones that don’t come with carrier strings.

Then you can jump sides in the AT&T-Verizon war, using your unlocked cell phones.

Unlocked cell phones are a boon to consumers—they allow consumers to choose their carriers without committing to contracts that last years and may have hidden fees.

But some cell phone designers are realizing that unlocked cell phones can benefit them too—if you are only selling through one carrier, your phones only reach a small percentage of the market. Some designers have different phones they sell through certain carriers, but Apple, for instance, has generally been limited to AT&T, and now Verizon, with only one true model.

Google and a few other cell phone creators have made attempts in the past, but carriers simply used the unlocked cell phones they created to add even more restrictions, unwanted apps, and bulk to the phone.

Now there is rumor that Apple’s next phone, a sort of iPhone mini, may be unlocked, allowing them to (carrier willing) sell through every carrier. Of course, if the carriers are unwilling, unlocked cell phones are easily sold in regular stores, such as the Apple store, which is already in cities all over the country.

Whether or not this rumor turns out to be true, and whether or not Apple follows through on releasing unlocked cell phones, unlocked cell phones are still available online through reputable retailers. Even if cell phone creators aren’t benefiting from unlocked cell phones, consumers still can.
