To my knowledge that won't work. He will have to insert another carrier's simcard to get the unlock code prompt.
Do I need to unroot in order to use a sim card in another country?
My phone is rooted and I am using a foreign SIM.

You should be able to unlock it to use on other carriers. Look up "Radiocomm" in the development forum.

You are asking about unlocking to be on a different carrier, that's what I was referring to. Unlocking the BL and unlocking the radio are seperate things. You don't need to unlock your BL to unlock for another carrier.
I have a question. Boost is CDMA and so is verison so wouldn't i just need to put a boost sim card in or no?
I'm never unlocked a phone
Just flashed roms and kernals and worked with fastboot/adb

I would give it a whirl. Worst that could happen is that you would get no signal.
I want to be able to remove Sprints crapware. Should I unlock the bootloader before inserting the sim?

I might already be locked being it's a Sprint variant. Boot it up without the sim and if the unlock switch isn't greyed out then flip the switch. After that no sim can relock it

Bootloader is unlockable regardless.
From the way I understand it, if you boot the device with Sprint SIM, it will carrier lock the device. Meaning you will have to wait for Sprint to push updates for OTA.
But I am on Sprint and can confirm you can still unlock and root the device as normal instructions for the device state. And also sideload updates etc with no issue.

What are you talking about? There is no "crapware".
I bought the phone at Best buy and use Sprint. It locks as far as roaming and it hides the tethering option but I did switch the Sim and it worked on FreedomPop fine

Is your phone the Sprint variant? If so, what did you have to do to get it to work with a Mexican sim?

If you boot into the bootloader, the phone will read "Sprint" or "OpenUS" next to variant.
