...this is bizar...is the owner of the phone also the
owner of a copy of the software? If so, there's no problem, it's YOUR copy...
We have the same here in belgium...phones that are locked to one "vendor"...you buy a phone (sometimes pretty cheap) and a subscription to the service of that one vendor. It's a package deal. But, you also have "free" phones, be it somewhat more expensive, but you put your sim card of chouce in there, eg choose what operator you want to use with that phone...
I did that, I got me a Samsung mini and kept my current subscription with Proximus, but...I can (not really inclined, Proximus is good
) swithc to a different operator...
To me, this seems a law that wants to protect the providers rarther than the consumer, but...I'm not a lawyer...
