New Ah, I see
I thought it meant that if you had a GSM GSIII with a Verizon-locked SIM card, upgrading to a new version of Android would somehow unlock it.

What they're actually doing is just turning on the GSM bit.

New The US learnt from GSM rollouts elsewhere.
And decided to charge for every little thing they could get away with, mostly the things people used a lot elsewhere in the world with a GSM device. That's why they charge for *receiving* SMSs. And data-sharing. And moving files on and off your phone.
