along with such a "sim lock" some phones also have a "boot loader lock" 
which can be easily undone to allow you to replace the firmware, but 
which cannot be re-locked to deny you dicked around with it.

[though there may be exploits that allow rooting without unlocking the 
bootloader, or relocking it afterwards]
