If you are existing or prospective costumer of Sprint Nextel and you think that you will be able to use your 'Sprint iPhone 4S' with any other service provider then you are completely wrong as Sprint is doing everything it can do to make sure that its costumer stick with it.
If we go by the news provided by our reliable sources Sprint is planning to lock the SIM on iPhone4S devices from today onward today..According to new unlocking policy Sprint will only unlock the SIM when the phone is taken abroad and the request for unlocking the phone is make in advance.
In an official confirmation Sprint confirmed that the SIM with iPhone 4S will be locked for both domestic and international calling.
We all know that for many years, AT&T iPhone users would jailbreak their iPhones and go to any other carriers.
If you are still wondering that why Sprint is being overprotective of iPhone 4S then here is a clarification for you as Sprint has already committed $ 20 billions in iPhone orders for next 4 years to Apple and in order to insure good return Sprint is not leaving a single stone unturned and locking the iPhone 4S is part of same strategy to make sure that costumers stays with Sprint.
The locking procedure of iPhone 4S occurs at the same time when activation is being done and is 'invisible to the customer," SprintFeed reported.
