Sprint Agrees to Unlock Their Calif. Phones
Thursday, October 25th, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by John Martellaro
As a result of a class-action lawsuit, Sprint has agreed to unlock its mobile phones for is California customers, according to Wired on Thursday. The lawsuit claimed unfair competition, and while limited to Sprints California customers, it could add fuel to the national unlocking fires.

The suit said the practice, industrywide, violated California unfair business and consumer laws and did not rely on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
Sprint denied any wrongdoing and agreed to settle to avoid "the uncertainties and expense of, and diversion of business resources resulting from further litigation."
There are still some unsettled issues. Verizon, which also sells CDMA phones, is not required to activate phones sold to Sprint customers. Even so, the decision by Sprint in California will have repercussions through the industry as lawsuits pile up and the momentum for unlocked phones in the U.S. builds.
