The tyranny of the locked cell phone (and how to break out of it)

Cell phones are so much a part of our life that we often choose to overlook the fact that they come with a ready-made ball and chain clause. Buy your average lifestyle-aligned cell phone and what you usually have to do when you sign on the dotted life is lock yourself into a carrier for at least a year (maybe two) on a cell phone which is locked and cannot be used with any other carrier of your choice.

In many cases the cell phone you buy remains locked so that you can only connect to the communications grid around you through the closely guarded gateway of the carrier who now owns your soul.

At Thriftycomputer we do not believe in any of this. We, like you, are users of cell phones and we believe that whatever cell phone you buy should be totally unlocked and capable of being used just like a computer or a laptop. No one ever tells you that there are certain ways you can use your own laptop or only certain websites you can access or only a certain ISP you can use and no one should be doing that with your cell phone either.

This is exactly why each of the cell phones we carry is unlocked for your convenience. You want a legendary Blackberry? No problem, Whether you go for the Blackberry quad band PDA Phone (connect anywhere) or a Blackberry Pearl, a Palm Treo Smartphone, a sleek LG or a Motorola Rzr the fact remains that it is your phone, you bought it and no one should tell you what to do with it.

Thriftycomputer cell phones are unlocked so there is no ball and chain. You choose, you buy, you use. The how, when and where is your business and we free you from having to give account of it to anyone.

So check us out. Experience the freedom of an unlocked phone and enjoy the experience.
