No, it's actually "unlocked" :D. It just needs a micro sim card, and AT&T is currently the only U.S. carrier using them.

Exactly what I thought. Now I just need to find blank micro cards so I could clone my sim card for my carrier. Why couldn't they just stick with regular sim cards. They are pretty small already.

BTW, I don't think anyone has the micro cards overseas either except AT&T.

According to Wikipedia:

AT&T Mobility
T-Mobile[1]
Orange[9]
O2 (Telefónica)[9]
NTT docomo[10][11]
H3G

It still would have been easier to just use regular sim cards. And most of these carriers are "considering" it for the iPad and don't have it yet. I think only AT&T, T-Mobile-US, and H3G have them.

I was just reading an article that says you could cut your current sim card with no problem for it to work as a micro-sim.

This may shed some light on why it may not be as simple as cutting
your current sim card.

This site suggests that it is possible to cut your sim card to the micro size, but in doing so you loose the option of using it as a regular size sim card unless you are able to put it back together somehow.

I think that is an option many people will use if it turns out to work.
I am sure most carriers don't have plans to start using micro sim-cards just for the iPad.
