help with foreign sim

hello, sorry if this question has been asked and answered. i don't have time to sift through the forums...

i'm deploying overseas VERY soon, and was wondering what i need to do to be able to use my phone overseas. i plan on buying a SIM from a local store once i arrive there. do i need to do anything special to my phone to allow me to use a foreign SIM? and do i need to flash a certain ROM and or radio?

thank you all.

Can't see your provder on mobi, but if you are on Sprint, you are already SIM unlocked. Just pop in the new card. For Verizon, call them to get the unlock code.
