I know the benefits of unlocking is choosing your own carrier, but other than that are there any other benefits?

just the satisfaction of sticking it to the man when you do.

you have to be careful though some phones won't work to their full potential on other carriers because they do not use the same bands.

Two other benefits is that if you decide to sell the phone you increase your pool
of potential buyers.

Generally speaking you will also be able to sell the phone for a little bit more than
if it were still carrier locked.

Plus saving on roaming fees when travelling.
