unlocking iPhone 4S?

Not really a recording question at all, but many of us are techheads as well as musicians and it's a forum i tend to trust, so here goes: Virgin Mobile here in Canada is offering iPhone 4S for 99 bucks, no contract now that the iPhone 5 is out (well, in a few hours). My questions to y'all are:

a) how easy/expensive are they to unlock, as i travel quite a bit
b) is this possible without jailbreaking, as that would be preferable
c) is jailbreaking a good idea?

pros/cons to any of the above? personal stories you can relate?

thanks everyone

Must be jail broken to unlock. Very easy, new, 1 touch solutions come around very frequently. Very easy to undo, update, redo, etc. 4s has a relatively accessible slot for the mini SIM card.

My sister sent me her old iPhone from the US (I live in Oz). I had to jailbreak and unlock it in order to use it, and other than a brief scary moment when I thought I bricked it, it was surprisingly easy.
