The Federal Communications Commission wants to eliminate a pain point for customers by forcing wireless carriers to unlock phone within 60 days of activation. Carriers often require lock phones to their network, keeping them locked for months, or even years. The practice is designed to discourage customers from switching to a rival service. Unfortunately, it also inhibits other options. For example, Android users wanting to install a more secure version of Android—such as GrapheneOS or CalyxOS—cannot do so unless the phone is unlocked.

FCC Wants Carriers To Unlock Customers’ Phones Within 60 Days

The FCC has released findings from an investigation into a Feb. outage at AT&T that blocked thousands of 911 calls and disconnected millions of devices.
