[quote=Anonymous]Are you planning to use a different provider for your trip? If so, you could just use your old cell phone for the trip, even if the new one is locked to your current provider. That said, as noted above, carrier locks only apply to devices purchased from carriers. If you buy one through other means, it will be unlocked from the time of purchase. The whole purpose of carrier-locks is to discourage buyers from financing a device with one provider, cancelling the account, and then using the device with a different provider before the balance is paid. It also discourages credit card chargebacks and later reuse even when the device is paid in full.[/quote]
