What is the difference between cellular data being used on my phone and cellular data being used on my notebook? Data is data.

    This is only possible if you get your phone from the carrier, right? They wouldn’t be able to differentiate if you were using an unlocked phone you got from Google or Amazon?

      They force configs on unlocked phones as well, or just don’t “certify” them and refuse to let them work. AT&T will go the extra step of locking you out of your SIM card until you call them. The other two are pretty passive about it and your phone just doesn’t work right until you put the SIM back in a phone they “like”.
