This card will come with a local phone # and a limited amount of baht in air time. Purchase additional air time at the same place. The sim card is all the network really sees. The phone wrapped around it is just an interface to you. When you go back home, give the sim card to your favorite BG if there is any baht left on it, and put your original card back in.

I think the US is the only country where phones are locked. A bunch of crap if you ask me, in somethings the states are really twisted.
I know that for most of Europe you can just travel from country to country buy a new sim card and your phone works.
