USA based TracFone Wireless has won a court case against a group of people which has forbidden them from buying network locked handsets and then reselling them unlocked for use on other networks. The judgment, handed down on March 5 by U.S. Judge David C. Godbey of the Northern District of Texas, prohibits defendant James Ray Thomas, Jr. (a/k/a Jim Thomas Hollis a/k/a James L. Ford) and his co-conspirators from continuing to engage in the bulk purchase, sale, or unlocking/reflashing of TracFone’s wireless phones. Their scheme makes extensive use of “runners,” who circumvent the limitations at retail stores that prohibit sales of more than 2 phones per customer by making purchases at multiple stores, using different cashiers within each store, and sometimes changing their clothing or appearance to deceive store clerks into selling them multiple phones. Here goes the Ebay business for a lot of people, Ouch.
