The SIM card would have to unlocked for the cellular radios. Unfortunately the only GSM radio in the Galaxy Nexus is the 700 MHz frequency (band 13). This should be technically already unlocked because of the Block C rules imposed by the FCC, but only Verizon Wireless uses that frequency band. The CDMA radios would remain locked to Verizon Wireless, can't be unlocked and are incompatible with the other carriers CDMA or GSM networks.

The SIM unlock isn't the same thing as the bootloader unlock.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
