I hope you noticed that South Carolina and North Dakota have similar bills.  

Big Brother is everywhere, not just in the fucking Bible Belt, but I will concede it's a lot worse here in that regard.

Your phone doesn't really belong to you, somewhere along the way you signed something that says your mobile carrier owns the phone. Don't believe it read your contract.

It depends on how you bought your phone and whether it is locked or unlocked. And even if it is locked, to say that the carrier owns your phone is misleading, they can't come take it from you. If you have a locked phone they can prevent you from going to another carrier, but if you are with a major carrier that is signed up to the Consumer Code for Wireless Service, once specified contract conditions are met or a contract specified fee is paid you can ask the carrier to unlock the phone which allows you to move to a different carrier as long as they use the same network technology (CDMA, GSM, etc). Or you can just buy an unlocked phone and get a contract with the carrier of your choice.

Didn't believe it.
Read my contract.
Wrong.
I own my phone.
Carrier does not.
Recent phone purchase in USA.  
Old contract, maybe.
Not current one.

If Euro claims something is true, my default position is that he is either lying or just wrong until proven otherwise.

I won't argue with that.  

I have been using unlocked phones for 15 years. If I want to change carriers I simply change SIM cards not the phone. It can work great for international travel.  

The carrier owns nothing if the phone if you paid for is an unlocked phone.

As you said, all you need is to swap out SIM cards for as little as ten bucks or even less, and you are right in business in 30 seconds.

Euro is filling in quite nicely in fg's absence, every village needs an idiot.
