Yes, officially they don't support use of the SIM slot. If you read the knowledge base article on their support site though, they seem to at least hint that it would be possible to put in a SIM card and get it to work with another carrier, but they are not "officially" supporting such a use and access to the ebook-mall, etc, may not be compatible.
I don't know if it would really work or not, but we'll likely have to get somebody else to try it and find out. It doesn't sound like iRex is going to give an official stance on it.
