Uhm... well, I don't see anything illegal there. If it's announced properly, then the customer knows that he buys a tight bundle of a cellphone and SIM. It's his choice to buy or not to buy. But, it might be a stupid question, but why don't they just sell the phones in SIM-Lock mode as many prepaid bundles had (or still have) it? Is that so much easier to hack than carefully breaking the epoxy resin on this?
