A friendly reminder that isps do NOT care about you or your digital rights. Always best to buy directly from the OEM rather than from the telecommunications (unless you can't afford it). Do proper research before buying a phone!
I've been using a VMNO for 4 years now, never had an issue.
I used to be Verizon only because of travel for work, and I need it to "just work". I've found NVMO to be no different now.
It's possible in a specific area this could be the case though. Not all areas have the same coverage.
