Well, that's not the carrier stoping you, it's the phone. You know,
there are sources for unlocked phones, like stores selling them. They
just happen to be a little bit more expensive, because you have to pay
the full price, instead of the carrier paying the majority of the
cost. ;)

A complete different thing would be if the networks would be checking
serial numbers and disallow using a 3rd party phone.
