No. You must restore it using iTunes to complete the unlock.

The process is as follows:
Backup the phone, Erase it, connect to iTunes for the unlock process, then your iProfile can be restored.

You can go ahead and get the SIM, bout you have to Erase the phone and connect to iTunes before it will be unlocked.
