This is not a correct statement. No such thing as unlocked and can use with any carrier. There are limitations.
Secondly; Not all unlocked phones have all the same features as their locked counterparts even when the provider is the same. Carriers may include such features only on locked phones, which use their proprietary software and settings. Some carriers offer free calling to a number of contacts or one-button access to certain features that can only be used on locked phones. To learn what specific features, you may want to check with a carrier to see if they are available on unlocked cell phones.
Good phone though
Yeah, not so much. Unlocking removes the carrier lock from the device. it does NOT change any feature set available on the device (that is controlled by the installed ROM).
If you have a locked S II and you pay the $10 or so to unlock it, nothing will be different about that device except that it will accept the SIM Cards from other carriers.
Feature sets are controlled by the ROM of a phone not by whether it is locked or unlocked.
PS Being locked or unlocked should not be confused with being Jailbroken (Apple) or Rooted (Android) which is a totally different process of gaining control to previously hidden/unavailable features in the phones ROM.
