Yeah looks like that was the argument that held up until just a few years ago. I remember it being 'illegal' (like breaking the speed limit) at that time. As of 2010 it appears to have changed. Note that it IS illegal to modify a phone so that it connects to a carrier it wasn't 'intended' to connect to.


That is only for smartphones specifically though, as I understand it.
