    In the Netherlands you purchase a new phone and a fixed monthly subscription for calls, texts, and data. You choose to pay for the phone itself upfront, or with installments each month, along with your monthly subscription cost.

    That’s the same thing. I think you don’t know what you’re talking about, friend.

      Back to the original point… Phones are not provider locked. That’s not allowed. It’s a predatory practice.

      The part they are saying is different is that the phones are unlocked immediately. They don’t ever lock.
