"simply buying a factory-unlocked"
Everyone should do this. You never know when you'll need to change carrier and you don't want to be tied to it because of a dumb phone. Also factory-unlocked phones usually have less cr@pware pre-installed.
Ohkay. But for example, is the Duraforce Pro 2 unlocked when bought from our Verizon overlords? Or if not, where to buy an unlocked one?
