I seem to be missing something obvious in your post. Why would the carriers care if you use a Nokia, Samsung or Apple phone on their network. Surely all they care about is that you use their network lots and lots and rack up huge bills. Shouldn't the hardware you use to rack up these bills be secondary to them?
The carriers 'let' every other phone maker in the world have these features, why wouldn't they let Apple. I genuinely don't get it.
My current Nokia phone came with VoIP built in and my carrier was happy to not only let me buy it, but even subsidized the cost of the phone. So some carriers obviously seem to be sleeping well enough at night.
