    You all need to hit up Best Buy then, because you can buy a $200- $300 unlocked phone from which you can, in fact, pop out the battery.

    Please for the love of god, tell me you idiots weren’t signing on to contracts and indebting yourselves to phone companies just to get access to shitty, locked, censored and controlled iPhones or Galaxies.

    Edit: I count 8 idiots. Holy crap, how did you let yourself get schnookered?

      Many people think that’s the only way of doing it. Just because you know about it doesn’t mean everyone else’s does, but yes, you can likely go to any electronics retailer and get an unlocked phone pretty easily

      Not everyone lives in the US btw.

      And please tell me, what phones in that price category have a removable battery (that aren’t complete shit, and the only feature is a removable battery)?
