There should be no problem if you use a SIM card in an unlocked phone. If the phone is locked make sure the network is available to you.

When a phone is unlocked is it the card or the phone that is unlocked?

It is the phone itself. SIM cards are peculiar to GSM phones. There are other types that do not use a SIM card. The SIM card carries information that is specific to the subscriber. All phones have operating software. Some of the software is common to all phones, regardless of who the carrier is. Some portions of the programming are reserved for the carrier. An example of this would be the banner the user sees when the phone is powering up, but there is a lot of programming that is transparent to the user, which is protected by the lock.
