Companies Scramble to Stop Cell Phone Trafficking

Cell phone trafficking

It's technically not illegal to unlock the software on your personal cell phone — but the companies are hoping to put a stop to traffickers that they say are siphoning away profits. Led by Miami-based TracFone Wireless Inc., makers of the low-cost prepaid cell phones are suing traffickers in federal courts around the country. One such lawsuit resulted in a criminal conviction in Houston when a man disobeyed a court order by refusing to stop selling the phones.

I'm sure that will change quickly. It seems to that no matter what companies do, hackers always find a way around it.
