Sprint iPhone 4S to be SIM Unlocked - Verizon After 60 Days


Submitted by Dan; October 12, 2011
Macworld has revealed an interesting fact about the iPhone 4S that wasn't pointed out before. The Sprint CDMA iPhone 4S comes GSM-unlocked, while the Verizon CDMA iPhone 4S can be unlocked by request after 60 days.
Sprint plans to sell the iPhone 4S with its micro-SIM slot unlocked; Verizons will be initially locked, but if youve been a customer in good standing for 60 days, you can call Verizon and ask for an international unlock. (A Verizon spokesperson told me that this is Verizons standard policy for all world phones—its just the first time its manifested itself on an iPhone.)
A godsend for those traveling abroad can pop-in a SIM card and enjoy their factory-unlocked iPhone 4S' roaming-charge free. An AT&T unlocked iPhone 4S is still set to release sometime in the near future. - source: macworld.com
