Unlocked phones aren't tied to any one provider. A locked phone is where, if for example it was ATT and you put a Verizon SIM in it wouldn't work. Unlocked can take any SIM.

Why do some people HAVE to carry their cell phones with them wherever they go?

I see it all the time! I see people blabbing on their cell phones while they're paying the cashier. I see them answer their cell phones in the movie theaters! I have a cell phone myself, but my life doesn't revolve around it. The way I see it, if a call is important enough and I've missed it, the caller can always leave a voicemail message. Why don't other people have lives outside their cell phones?
