I do. On tour. This is a GOD-SEND on Sprint for me. Awesome!!!

Sorry but check this out:

Ars Technica now reports that Sprint has reached out to deny this report, indicating that the iPhone 4S will not work with international micro-SIMs.
However, while Sprint will now support international roaming on GSM networks with the appropriate monthly plan, the company will not be selling the phone unlocked for use with international microSIMs. Ars asked Michelle Mermelstein, a Sprint wireless device public relations representative, to confirm that the Sprint iPhone 4S would not work with international microSIMs.

Looks like another revision is coming

We heard from Sprint a second time, which redacted part of its previous statement. The carrier further explained "the SIM is removable and is not affixed to the device," which as you may notice directly contradicts the statement made earlier today. We've reached out to Apple twice and are awaiting further clarification.

Sprint and Verizon confirm iPhone 4S Micro SIM unlock for international travel (update: Sprint remains locked?) -- Engadget


It doesn't make sense that Sprint locking the SIM on the Iphone when their Androids and Blackberries are completely unlocked for any international SIM....True that the Androids and Blackberries cannot be used on AT&T or T-Mobile here but International you're free as a bird.

That Sprint rep obviously doesn't know what she's talking about.
