Related: All bootloaders should be unlockable if the device owner opts to do that. Manufacturers/carriers should not be involved in that process at all.
You can, just not if it’s locked to a specific carrier.
Carriers often do that to prevent people from rooting their phone or removing Carrier identification to resell the phone.
Stupid design either way
Unforgivable.

I mean…. that kinda makes sense. They don’t want someone to skip out on payments. There’s no excuse for ASUS though
That’s not how carrier phone payment plans work.
Bootloader locking is different than carrier lock.
Regardless, you owe whatever you signed for, phone, or no phone.
Same. 3?
