Will be able to unlock phones easily in the future

It is likely that mobile users in the US will be able to unlock free phones purchased under network contracts of five major carriers, AT&T, Sprint, T-mobile, US Cellular and Verizon, when the International Technology Association US Wireless Information (CTIA) posted this information on their website. It is expected that this policy will come into effect within the next 12 months in the US.

Accordingly, the major carriers in this country will have a plan to provide detailed information to users about prepaid and postpaid phone unlocking services. Upon receiving the customer's request, the operator will have two days to unlock the phone in accordance with the standard set out.

In the event that the phone cannot be unlocked, they should also state the reason for their customers. However, operators also have the right to refuse requests for unlocked phones if there is reasonable evidence that the device was stolen or detected fraudulent.

Thus, in the near future when this policy is applied, mobile smartphone users in Vietnam will limit many risks when these phones cannot be used with Vietnam's mobile networks.
