  But I can use a non Verizon phone on Verizon? Are they just trying g to dissuade it because the people doing hotspot bypass are likely gonna do the research.

    This was for bootloader locking, not carrier locking. But yeah, they want you to buy their bullshit hotspot plan instead of just using the data you already pay for.

      Of course.

      And yeah carrier locking is already illegal [if the phone is fully paid for].
