Maybe then they should put a lien on it and call it the phone title, not lock status.



The cost to repossesses and resell a phone is going to greatly exceed its value in nearly every case, so this idea wouldnt work.


One of the main goal of a lien is to make sure that the debtor pays. I would say the locking mechanism helps that greatly.
