Anger killed Lumia 950: US mobile operator blocked Microsoft

The US mobile operator Verizon will not support the new Microsoft smartphones Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL. The use of the devices on the network of Verizon should therefore be actively blocked. Microsoft even wants to reduce its dependence on the network operators but also.

The new Microsoft smartphones Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL care in the United States even before its release for excitement. Blame, however, has less Microsoft, rather than the mobile operator Verizon. This refuses not only that both Windows 10-flagships for sale, but also want to block them in their own mobile networks, as the reporter Mary Jo Foley in podcast Windows Weekly betrayed.

Lumia 950 and 950 XL does not work in the Verizon network
In plain language this means: If you want a Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 a xl At length itself, will not be able to operate with a SIM card from Verizon its device. Why does the network operator moves this blockade policy towards Microsoft, is not entirely clear. However, Verizon had already shown in the past uncooperative towards Microsoft and Windows Phone.

Other network operators such as T Mobile or AT & T will not block the new Lumia smartphones. Even German buyers of Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL do not have to worry. In this country, such unilateral action by mobile operators are likely not to be expected. When the two new smartphones will be available in this country, however, is still not clear. On his homepage Microsoft is merely an indication that this will be "available soon". At least the price is fixed but already. So the Lumia 950 for 599 euros (RRP) is offered. For the Lumia 950 XL, a price of 699 Euro is given.

Microsoft wants to be independent of network operators
Microsoft even wants to reduce its dependence on the mobile operators by the way anyway. Only last week the producers had stated that he would like to spread the future software updates for Windows Mobile 10 completely independent of the network operators. With the approach of the Group wants to ensure that as many users of Windows 10 smartphones are always working with the latest software version.
