That is the only advantage to having it unlocked. Also, if you travel internationally you can purchase prepaid sim cards and use them in the BB for less expensive calling while abroad.

Just out of curiousity, is one able to buy these prepaid sim cards throughout the U.S.? If so, where abouts? The reason I ask is that I have a Curve with Rogers now and will be travelling to New York. Between costs for roaming sent SMS and roaming voice calls, the bills are unreal.

Thanks.
