i think its about time we all demanded that ofcom force operators to unlock all types of phone at the end of a contract. Its ridiculous that this happens in the rest of europe but because of the backhanders we cant get the same consideration here.

Completely Agree!! I also find it bad that when you call a friend on a different mobile network, or call their mobile from your landline, their network will charge your operator a fee (a Mobile Termination Rate or MTR) for carrying the call!!!! Yet another example of rip off britain.

The MTR is currently charged at around 4.7p or more for every minute of the call. ... Which adds up!
