Hi all,

The Consumerist had an article pointing out how easy it is to unlock phones 
[1]. This could be a good thing for me because I travel out of the country for 
work, and it would be nice to drop a replacement SIM card in my phone instead 
of paying highway-robbery prices for even minimal out-of-country roaming 
packages. 

Here's the question: I was under the impression that unlocking an iPhone would 
make it less secure, and one of the reasons that I'd rather have an iPhone than 
an Android device is because of the security.

Is this true? Is unlocking an iPhone a bad idea? I have a hard time separating 
the wheat from the chaff [2] when reading online; others here might have more 
knowledge.

Bill
