What Constitutes an Unlocked Phone?

It's funny you should post this today. Last night, I was trying to figure out which would be cheaper... I reflash my HTC M8 to use as a prepaid phone for when I start crossing into Canada. Or, get a prepaid burn phone from a Canadian store, or get a ultra cheap phone from the states with a plan that includes Canada usage, and keep my current plan for data use in the states (which I will be here more than Canada). My current plan doesn't have the option to add Canada, and I am still on Verizon's old unlimited plan and don't want to change plans and risk losing it just for occasional border crossing loads.

 

I have unlimited points and refills showers. I got Qualcomm to deal with dispatch. I eat the meatloaf at the pilot j and the subway and hot dogs daily. In

 

I bought this iPhone 5SE from the Apple store. I think it was 4 or 5 hundred straight out the door with no contract.
I think it’s the perfect size.

 

I don’t need any advice

 

Yup, you're a truck driver.

 

I’m a trailer driver. I will share from personal experience that IPhones will work on any carrier network. The service in areas will separate one from the other T-Mobile and Sprint has the worst. I had the best luck with Verizon.

 

I swear I thought I was the only one here

 

If you use your phone as a hot spot you won't be liking straight talk. Last time I looked on their website 7gs was $75. For hotspot usage.
