Do you know what an unlocked cell phone is? The first time I heard my teen son mention an “unlocked” phone I thought he had done something to his phone that was a violation of his warranty! After a (super entertaining) session of laughter, he explained to me that an unlocked phone isn’t specifically connected, or limited, to certain phone carrier.
I didn’t fully understand why this was so important, after all, we had used the same carrier for years.
And then we stopped.
After several years with the same carrier I found a plan that was much more affordable and switched. Two of our previous phones had to be replaced because they weren’t unlocked. This left us with two phones (you know, the ones my teen son selected for us) that only needed a change in SIM cards to make the transfer.
Just having two of our four phones unlocked and ready to be moved saved us several hundred dollars!
