[Q] Does the Casual Unlock actually "Unlock" the phone for International Usage?

Hello All,

I rooted my phone and unlocked it as soon as those options because available by Adam Outler. To date, I haven't experienced any major issues, but I do have a question:

I'm about to travel internationally and I'm interested in using other SIMs in order to save a lot of money on Data & Voice usage. Does anyone know if Adam's "Casual Unlocker" truly unlocks the phone for international usage (i.e. other SIM cards) ? I know that it "unlocked the bootloader", however I'm unsure if that unlocks the device for international usage.

I greatly appreciate your help!!!

The bootloader unlock doesn't impact global usage. The Verizon variant is sim unlocked out of the box so if you slap a local SIM in you should have voice and text wherever you travel. If you want data though, you need to do a little more work as Verizon removed other carrier's APN information because they want you to use their international roaming plans. Details on that mod are below (or you can flash a rom that has it built in).
